Top 500 players removed from leaderboard

For every season of OW2 the bottom spots on top 500 are removed from the leaderboard at the end of the season. If you go to the leaderboard on previous seasons you’ll notice that it starts around rank 480 or so. I always thought the removed spots belonged to banned cheaters. However, I got removed from the leaderboard myself just now in season 11 (and I’m not cheating obviously). I was around rank 483 on tank about 40 minutes before the end of season 11. Now in season 12 my profile says my final rank was not top 500, and rank 482-500 do not exist on the s11 leaderboard. This is very frustrating. I assume it’s a bug, but it has been happening since season 1 judging from the leaderboards. Could this issue be fixed and will players get their deleted top 500 spot back? I play on pc, but a reddit user has pointed out that this also happens on console: https://www.reddit.com/r/overwatch2/comments/1clnk21/not_showing_up_on_t500_leaderboard_after_50_wins/
