Unable to Stop Watching Space if user no longer has View Permissions

Environment

• Confluence Cloud

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new Space with admin account: Sample Space 1
2. Log out of admin account, log in as User 1
3. Select Sample Space 1 Overview Tab > Watch icon - Watch all content in this space
   
4. Log out of User 1, Log into admin user
5. Remove Space permissions from User 1
6. Log in as User 1, view watches Spaces: <EXAMPLE>.atlassian.net/wiki/users/viewnotifications.action
   
7. Sample Space 1 shows up in the Space Watches section
8. Select Stop Watching. Text turns to Start Watching
   
9. Refresh page and Stop Watching appears again
   

Expected Results

• Stop watching should allow users to Stop watching Space, regardless of permissions
• Ideally, once a user's permission have been removed from Space, the user account should stop watching Space and Page content

Actual Results

• Stop Watching > Start Watching > Page Refresh > Stop Watching appears again
• No way to Stop watching Space that you longer have permissions to View
