Helm virtual fails to merge Helm remote index

ISSUE

Helm install of a remote helm package fails because index.yaml from virtual helm does not contain index from helm remote. Debug logs show that virtual index failed to merge-in the remote index.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1.Setup 5.8.9
2. Setup helm virtual
3. download index.yaml via virtual helm repo (e.g. wget http://$ARTIFACTORY_URL/artifactory/helm/index.yaml)

It doesn't reproduce in 6.0.3
