This only happens with content pages. I tested with widget pages and changes to one particular page variation stay within that page variation. I've attached a video of this: 2018-06-21-1721-22.mp4

Steps to reproduce:

1. Activate staging with page versioning enabled
2. Create a content page
3. Add another page variation of the content page
4. Make a change to the main variation version of the page

Expected result:
The change to the main variation should only apply to the main variation. The second page variation should still look like when the page was first created.

Actual result:
The change is applied to both variations.
