Issue with using reset (shinyJS function) and click together and then observing the clicked button - shinyjs

Question

Problem statement: on click of a button (say reset), we need to reset some controls and then programmatically click another button (in this case update) and perform some logic and render appropriately.
In the below example, I do the following
On click of the reset button, I am resetting the picker input using the reset function and then calling click on "update" button.
Expected
on click of reset, both the text should be NULL
What Happens is :
The first one is NUll, the second one is the last value
I Would like to understand the reason behind it. Interestingly when we debug, it works as expected. Is there a workaround to achieve something like this?
library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)
library(shinyjs)
options(shiny.reactlog=TRUE)
# if (interactive()) {
# library(shiny)
shinyApp(
ui = fluidPage(
useShinyjs(),
div(
id = "form",
pickerInput(
inputId = "letter",
label = "Select max two option below:",
choices = c("A", "B", "C", "D"),
multiple = TRUE,
selected = NULL,
options = list(`actions-box` = TRUE)
),
verbatimTextOutput("selected_value"),
verbatimTextOutput("reset_value"),
),
actionButton("reset", "Reset"),
actionButton("update", "Update"),
),
server = function(input, output) {
msg <- "temp reactive"
msg_reactive <- reactiveValues(text = msg)
output$reset_value <- renderPrint(msg_reactive$text)
output$selected_value <- renderPrint(input$letter)
observeEvent(input$reset, {
reset("letter")
click("update")
})
observeEvent(input$update,{
## some logic , currently just setting it to current value of drop down letters
## I assume click on line number 52 triggers the control to come here
## but still values in input$letter are older onces and not NULL
## if I use a browser and then executes it works , Not sure where I am falling short
msg_reactive[['text']] <- input$letter
})
}
)
# }
