Fix race condition in RTC default polling provider. This solution is pulled from @mindctrl's PR #11067

This PR is targeted as narrowly as possible at the solving the race condition and does not attempt to solve the cache invalidation issues. If #11290 is merged, then we can consider it solved separately.

This race condition is also solved by @josephfusco's PR #11256 to replace post meta storage with a dedicated table. If that PR is merged, this one can be closed.

The logic looks solid to me, and local smoke testing works through a lot of compaction cycles.
