Deleting/ adding images from/to Product Image gallery does not update the database position value

[Swannyj]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version 2.4.6-p6
• SQL query used to confirm bug

SELECT * FROM catalog_product_entity_media_gallery_value cpem INNER JOIN catalog_product_entity cpe ON cpe.entity_id = cpem.entity_id WHERE cpe.entity_id = <entity_id>;

Steps to reproduce

• Add 4 images to the image gallery located within a product
  
  

• Save

• Delete an image (do not re-order anything)
  

• Save
  

This also does not work if I was to add a new image. The new image would have the last position value + 1 and will not update all position values

Expected result

The database value for position should update based on the new positions in the image gallery array

Actual result

The position value does not get updated after product save.

Additional information

It is worth noting that re-ordering the images updates this position value.
