The loading of `RepositoryData` is not an atomic operation. It uses a list + get combination of calls. This lead to accidentally returning an empty repository data for generations >=0 which can never not exist unless the repository is corrupted. In the test elastic#48122 (and other SLM tests) there was a low chance of running into this concurrent modification scenario and the repository actually moving two index generations between listing out the index-N and loading the latest version of it. Since we only keep two index-N around at a time this lead to unexpectedly absent snapshots in status APIs. Fixing the behavior to be more resilient is non-trivial but in the works. For now I think we should simply throw in this scenario. This will also help prevent corruption in the unlikely event but possible of running into this issue in a snapshot create or delete operation on master failover on a repository like S3 which doesn't have the "no overwrites" protection on writing a new index-N. Fixes elastic#48122
