"mender check-update" breaks periodic update checks

Description

Using "mender check-update" prevents the next scheduled periodic update check from happening.

Here is a log showing the problem:

You can see periodic checks happening every hour at 13 and 43 minutes (every 30 minutes) as configured.

At 13:45 I run a "mender check-update". Then at 14:13, nothing happens, and the cycle resumes at 14:43.

When running "mender check-update" several times, this effect amplifies. For example if you run it 5 times, nothing will happen for the next 2:30 and then updates will resume.

Expected behavior: scheduled updates should continue to happen, or possibly, the next update should be 30 minutes after the manual "mender check-update" run.

Affects versions

Environment

: Sounds semi-serious. I don't think it's a blocker, but I suggest prioritizing somewhat highly on the backlog.
