Comment:

 Previews work for both un-published and published posts. In the first case
 the post is shown on the front end.

 In the second case the post_content is taken from the editor and shown on
 the front end, so when previewing a published post, you are looking at any
 edits/changes made since the post was published. That's why the button's
 name changes to Preview Changes.

 So, to answer directly to the concern in the ticket:

 "This is confusing since you're not actually previewing anything, you're
 viewing a public post."

 No, you are not viewing a public post, you are previewing changes made
 since the post was published.
