Has anyone else noticed the inconsistent interaction between Apple Watch's camera remote app and iPhone's camera app?

If the iPhone is locked(A) or the camera app was opened after unlocking the phone(B) and then you open the camera remote app on the Apple Watch, you can preview what the camera is seeing(it launches the camera app on the locked iPhone for you). After which, if you go back to the watch face or switch apps on my apple watch momentarily, the camera app on the phone closes. Returns to the lock screen or the home screen depending on whether you started at A or B

However, in scenario C, if the phone was locked, and I swipe to the camera from the lock screen, I can open the camera remote on the apple watch and then go back to the watch face or switch apps but the camera app on iPhone will not exit.

Is there a way to change the behavior for one or more of these scenarios?
