That's because you set "read_only" to "true" when you executed the query, so that the command counter is not incremented, and the query cannot see the results from the previous statement.
The documentation is quite clear here:
It is generally unwise to mix read-only and read-write commands within a single function using SPI; that could result in very confusing behavior, since the read-only queries would not see the results of any database updates done by the read-write queries.
