If I understand you correctly what you are saying is that if an author edits their article after it has been published then it should revert to an unpublished state.
That has always been a limitation of Joomla as otherwise the article will be removed from display on the site.
It is one of the reasons that we have version history and hopefully is something that in a future date will be possible in joomla 4 with workflows. Currently its not as we don't support draft versions of published content

Not exactly. The approved (published) Article should remain published but the edit (new version) should not replace it until approved. If a user for whatever reason) can not be trusted to create an Article without approval ... then (for the same reason) they should not be trusted to change the wording without approval.
If it is not possible to prevent the new version (without approval) to replace the approved version then so be it.
Currently it's not possible as joomla doesn't support draft versions of currently published items

It is a pity that it's 'expected behaviour' because it does make the 'Edit state' redundant. No point checking a persons original wording if they can change it to their preferred wording without approval.
