JDK-8306781 was updated few hours ago and it triggered CSRIssueWorkItem to update the pull request(https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/13661). However, when updating the pr, the bot failed to retrieve JDK-8306027 and printed "⚠️ Temporary failure when trying to retrieve information on issue 8306027" in the pr body. This update of PR body triggered PullRequestWorkItem in NotifyBot and make issueNotifier to update links to PR issues.

Seems reasonable. Thanks for figuring this out!
