In order to check the correct behavior of the change streams on recently restarted shards, it is needed to have a shard without initialized metadata. However, in some cases the restart can be seen as a topology change, which triggers the RSM thread, and this might lead to a refresh of the metadata. This generally causes failures when testing, because the exact scenario (a recently restarted shard) cannot be set. There should be a way to prevent this refresh, or, the way the change streams is tested should be changed.
