In general, that step should not be necessary. The /tmp dir itself is
not updated, just the mounted filesystem is. You only see the /tmp dir
itself when you unmount the file system again. For example:

[root@ ~]# stat /mnt
...
Change: 2022-05-02 14:23:55.000000000 +0200
[root@ ~]# umount /mnt
[root@ ~]# stat /mnt
...
Change: 2021-01-06 16:44:39.735500911 +0100
