This bug is reproducible in Local Stagging also

Steps:
1. Enable Remote Staging
2. Add Documents and Media widget > Upload a file entry
3. Publish > Publish to Remote Live
4. Assert file entry in Remote Live
5. On Staging, go to Site Admin > Web Content > Documents and Media
6. Checkout file entry
7. Publish to Remote Live
8. Assert file entry is checkout in Remote Live
9. On Staging, add File Shortcut to file entry
10. Publish to Remote Live

Expected Results:
The shortcut is not published to Live, the old version of the file is still published in Live with "APPROVED" status.

Actual Results:
The shortcut is published to Live.

Environment:

Tomcat 9.0.17 + MySQL 5.7 + Firefox 66.0.4 + DXP 7.2.10 RC3
