Comment (by Mte90):

 I am investigating this problem, as wp-cron.php doesn't fire any log
 information I added a `error_log(print_r($crons, true));` at line 149
 before the delete of the transient to track at every call what crons are
 found.

 As I can see the crons are found but not executed:

 {{{
     [1585036816] => Array
         (
             [publish_future_post] => Array
                 (
                     [799cb85576dde4649c55321c2ce6e65b] => Array
                         (
                             [schedule] =>
                             [args] => Array
                                 (
                                     [0] => 246700
                                 )

                         )

                 )

         )
 }}}

 So I am wondering if
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/7004afe4f4bac1fd17a142051832bdf6be8e6fcf
 /wp-includes/post.php#L4293 it is working.
 As I can see this function `check_and_publish_future_post` doesn't have
 any test and the last changes to that function are from a lot of years
 ago.
