The issue is, that your connection has wifi.mac-address-randomization set to "never".
If you leave wifi.cloned-mac-address unspecified, the "never" forces it to "permanent".

You thus need to  reset wifi.mac-address-randomization property to default:

  nmcli connection modify "$CONN" 
      wifi.cloned-mac-address '' \
      wifi.mac-address-randomization default


This is a bug, now fixed upstream:

The reason that your connection has wifi.mac-address-randomization set, is indeed another bug:
