metrics: tests: Fix flaky runtime_can_publish_metrics (#7279)

* metrics: tests: Fix flaky runtime_can_publish_metrics

When an re-org happens wait_for_blocks(2) would actually exit after the second
import of blocks 1, so the conditions for the metric to exist won't be met
hence the occasional test failure.
