That's because adjacent edits by the same user are grouped in recent changes feed (same for linked recent changes). If you do an edit on this page with another user account, it won't be anymore be marked as "new page".
So it is just _assumed_ that the page is forever new if the editor is the same. Even if the edit is years later.
And... it is shown as New in one place, but not another. I.e., in plain Special:Recentchanges that revision is not marked as New. But in the Feed, it still is.
