Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Following up my comment above, the first permission check for editing an
 existing post should be `current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id )` -- the
 meta capability checks in the API were recently modified to match those in
 core for `edit_post`, `delete_post` and `read_post`.

 See #50128, [47850]
