Release created from an existing tag does not trigger an actions workflow

[mdawar]

Description

I've noticed that releases created from a tag that already exist won't trigger an actions workflow with release of type published.

But the workflow is triggered if the release creates the tag.

Here's a sample workflow:

name: Release Test

on:
  release:
    types:
      - published

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Release test"

I tried it on the web UI and the API.
