Best guess there is STP enabled on the GS324TP - something standard on such configurations.

Cumbersome is that especially older Unify mesh systems don't support using the dedicated wireless backhaul (and not STP).
The wireless uplink feature on the Unifi mesh was never designed to be used as a hardwire failover. The uplink feature is automatically enabled from the initial setup. If the cable goes down, it will go into uplink mode, but it's not design to fail back over when the cable becomes active. If you don't need the wireless mesh uplink feature, I would disable it in the controller.
Challenge Ubiquity Unifi support or their community FMI.
