Why FutureBuilder does not execute the condition when the data is not yet ready using Provider?

Question

Why doesn't FutureBuilder execute a condition when the data is not ready yet? I.e. block else where '-------------' is not executed.

Before I used provider, that block would execute, i.e. it would show CircularProgressIndicator.

The provider value (ChangeNotifierProvider) is changed in the PaginationAppBar.

  Future<List<ProfileData>> fetchProfiles(int page) {
    WebService webService = locator<WebService>();
    return webService.fetchProfiles(Gender.female, page); //future
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final pagerModel = context.watch<PagerModel>();
    return FutureBuilder<List<ProfileData>>(
      future: fetchProfiles(pagerModel.page),
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasData) {
          final data = snapshot.data;
          debugPrint('snapshot data length ${snapshot.data?.length}');
          if (data!.isEmpty) {
            return const ErrorWithMessage(message: 'data loading error');
          }
          return Scaffold(
            appBar: const PaginationAppBar(Gender.female),
            body: ProfileGrid(data),
          );
        } else if (snapshot.hasError) {
          return _processError(snapshot);
        } else {
          debugPrint('-------------this else does not execute');
          return const Scaffold(
            appBar: PaginationAppBar(Gender.female),
            body: CircularProgressIndicator(),
          );
        }
      },
    );
  }
}
