Pulsar reader doesn't return correct last message with startMessageIdInclusive()

I want to read last message from topic “A” by using Pulsar Reader as shown in below code:

Reader<byte[]> reader= pulsarClient.newReader()
                    .topic("A")
                    .startMessageIdInclusive()
                    .startMessageId(MessageId.latest)
                    .create();
if(reader.hasMessageAvailable()) {
    Message<byte[]> msg= reader.readNext();
}

Before executing the above code, I have produced many messages on that topic and as the result:

• The msg that I get here is not the last message but the last message - 1 when I add .startMessageIdInclusive()
• Without adding .startMessageIdInclusive(), reader.hasMessageAvailable() will return false.

Pulsar version that I used:

• Version of pulsar jar: 2.5.0
• Version of pulsar for run my pulsar instance: 2.7.0

Sorry for my misunderstanding. Yes, if the topic is empty, it should return false.

I found there has some PRs are fixing this issue: #9316 and #8735
