Content analysis only working when ACF block is in edit mode when block registered via JSON

• I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
• I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened.

After registering an ACF block via JSON using the default preview mode, the block content is only analyzed when the block is in edit mode. When switching back to the preview mode, the block content is no longer analyzed and the Yoast analysis reverts back to previous numbers as if the block didn't exist.

JSON block example:

{
		"name": "acf/hero",
		"title": "Hero",
		"acf": {
				"mode": "preview",
				"renderTemplate": "hero.php"
		}
}

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

I would expect the content to be analyzed on page load and regardless of switching between block modes.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Register ACF block via json with default preview mode
2. Switch between block modes in block editor

Is there any plan to make ACF content analysis work with blocks in preview mode? All our blocks are configured to run in preview mode by default so in our case it would be really helpful to support this mode as well.

Same here :/ Hopefully it will be fixed soon. @moorscode @yoastbot Do you can check it please ? I have this issue in multiple WP versions started from 6.4 till current WP 6.6 release.

The plugin could use a fix. I had to write a content analysis filter to fix this issue via javascript via their docs. Kind of pointless if yoast has support for ACF, but not for ACF inside core blocks and or custom blocks.
