Updating does not update URLs of Flatpak remotes

Description
Updating Flatpaks on the command line with 'flathub update' also picks up updates made to a remote's URL, but system updates through Software does not.
For example, Flathub's remote URL recently changed from https://flathub.org/repo/ to https://dl.flathub.org/repo/, so for a while, my attempts at making system updates with Software did not find any updates to Flathub apps (because the old remote URL was still being used). Only after running 'flathub update' on the command line did Software find Flathub updates again, because doing so updated the remote URL (and also found all updates to Flatpak apps that I was missing).
It would be nice if Software could make updates to Flatpak remote URLs so that it will always use the correct URL for Flatpak updates, without having to force the user to update on the command line if they suspect something is wrong.
