[#9789] - No updatenotification mail with cachetimeout = 0

We wondered that we didn't get any email concerning update 3.5.0=>3.5.1 from plugin updatenotification.php (until today). Several sites and providers.
We checked email configurations, SuperUser settings and so on. All fine.
After some investigations we found out that for all these Joomlas cachetimeout is set to 0 (administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=update > Options button > Updates Caching (in hours)). Maybe the reason?
While debugging the plugin we saw that line https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/plugins/system/updatenotification/updatenotification.php#L115 (findUpdates(...)) always returns false.
We changed setting cachetimeout to 1 in two sites (absolutely identical configuration, same provider, same server, same email). 1 has sent an update notification meanwhile. The other one not.
For the first one we deleted JCH-Cache and Page-Cache. Don't know if this is anyhow related.

Cachetimeout of 0 has a special meaning in JUpdater. It means constantly refresh the update information every time you check. So it is actually a valid value. The problem is that we also perform a internal check
in the update notification plugin that will fail (0 will never be greater than the last run time vs the current time) - so the plugin won't run. I guess we need an edge case for the cache time being =< 0
