All of our campaigns are supposed to use a shared list of "global" negative 
keywords. We have a utility script that runs through all of our campaigns 
to make sure we added the list to them manually. This has worked flawlessly 
for a long time, until recently something odd popped out. The ads UI (on 
Google) tells us a single campaign is missing the shared list, but the API 
says the campaign is using it. So which is it? My question in a broad sense 
is: does Google have a cache gap between the UI and the API? We don't 
mutate campaigns through the API, we have humans do things manually through 
the UI, so it couldn't be anything on our end. The bug persisted across 
multiple days.

We use the following GAQL, and we do not cache the result:

SELECT
  campaign.name,
  shared_set.id
FROM
  campaign_shared_set
WHERE
  campaign.status = ENABLED
  AND campaign.advertising_channel_type IN (SEARCH,SHOPPING)
ORDER BY
  campaign.name

This reported that the campaign in question was using the "global" shared 
negative keyword list, but the UI said the opposite. The API and UI seem to 
be in conflict with each other, and it caused a bit of confusion.

Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
