PULL replicas stop replicating after a RELOAD collection action

UPDATE

PULL replica replication stops after calling the RELOAD collection API, even without any config/schema changes!
It's also happening when schema API is used to add a new field.

An operating SolrCloud with NRT, TLOG, and PULL replicas.
Solr - 7.1.0
ZK - 3.4.10

Used config set - sample_techproducts_configs
Shards - 1

Whenever a schema change (adding of new fields/changing field types) is pushed to ZK and the collection is reloaded using
/solr/admin/collections?action=RELOAD&name=sample, the index changes stop replicating to PULL replicas. NRT and TLOG are able to replicate the index.

Before the schema change, I can see the indexFetcher thread running on PULL replica
2017-12-26 10:17:11.802 INFO (indexFetcher-14-thread-1) [c:sample s:shard1 r:core_node6 x:sample_shard1_replica_p5] o.a.s.h.IndexFetcher Master's generation: 2
2017-12-26 10:17:11.802 INFO (indexFetcher-14-thread-1) [c:sample s:shard1 r:core_node6 x:sample_shard1_replica_p5] o.a.s.h.IndexFetcher Master's version: 1514283298419
2017-12-26 10:17:11.802 INFO (indexFetcher-14-thread-1) [c:sample s:shard1 r:core_node6 x:sample_shard1_replica_p5] o.a.s.h.IndexFetcher Slave's generation: 2
2017-12-26 10:17:11.802 INFO (indexFetcher-14-thread-1) [c:sample s:shard1 r:core_node6 x:sample_shard1_replica_p5] o.a.s.h.IndexFetcher Slave's version: 1514283298419

After that, the following change in schema that is made to managed-schema of sample_techproducts_configs, pushed to ZK, and collection reloaded.
<field name="testpoint_1" type="point" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="testpoint_2" type="point" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="testpoint_3" type="point" indexed="true" stored="true"/>

I can no longer see IndexFetcher thread running on PULL replica. No logs are printed. The logs end with the collection reload log
2017-12-26 10:22:09.256 INFO (qtp128526626-16) [c:sample s:shard1 r:core_node6 x:sample_shard1_replica_p5] o.a.s.s.HttpSolrCall [admin] webapp=null path=/admin/cores params=

The index is never modified after this, and leader doesn't get the polls from the PULL replica.

Observations:

• Manually forcing an index fetch using /replication?command=fetchindex syncs the index, but doesn't start the IndexFetcher polling.
• Restarting the replica will sync the index, starts IndexFetcher thread and polling.
• Removing and adding the replica back as PULL will sync the index, starts IndexFetcher thread and polling.
