Confluence Cloud CQL label search - draft pages not included

Confluence Development Confluence Cloud

I have added label cqltest to a draft (live-edit) page in confluence.
I am running the CQL search query:
search?cql=label=cqltest&cqlcontext=%7B%22contentStatuses%22%3A%5B%22draft%22%5D%7D

Observed behaviour

No results are returned.

Expected behaviour

The draft-page with the label cqltest should be returned in the search results.

Update:

It appears that a CQL search for drafts (or including) drafts like &cqlcontext={"contentStatuses":["draft"]} [1] only returns drafts that the authenticated user has created/authored.

Any other authenticated user won’t see draft pages in search results, although this user can see them in the Confluence space LHS bar.
