Issue with using yoast seo meta description on save_post

Hello,

I am working on a WordPress Multisite, and I am trying to achieve the following:

When posting a post on Blog 1, I distribute this post to Blog 2, Blog 3 etc.

This all works perfectly, EXCEPT for the YOAST metadata. When I add Yoast Metadata for example the title or the meta description, and i click ‘update’, the metadata disappears. Please check the code below. I have no clue what’s going wrong here:

function update_content($post_id){

  if (get_current_blog_id() == 1 ){

    //Check it's not an auto save routine
    if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
        return;
    }
    

    $post = get_post($post_id);
    $title = $post->post_title;
    // $slug = get_page_by_path($post->post_name);
    $name = $post->post_name;
    
    if($post->post_type == 'post' ) {
    
    $original_id = $post_id;
    $original_post = get_post($original_id);
    
    // USA
    switch_to_blog(2);
  
    // $new_post = get_page_by_title( $title, 'OBJECT', 'post' );
    $new_post = get_page_by_path( $name, 'OBJECT', 'post');
    $new_post_id = $new_post->ID;
  
    $my_post = array(
      'ID'              => $new_post_id,
      'post_author'     => $original_post->post_author,
      'post_date'       => $original_post->post_date,
      'post_modified'   => $original_post->post_modified,
      'post_content'    => $original_post->post_content,
      'post_title'      => $original_post->post_title,
      'post_excerpt'    => $original_post->post_excerpt,
      'post_status'     => $original_post->post_status,
      'post_name'       => $original_post->post_name,
      'post_type'       => $original_post->post_type
    );

    remove_action( 'save_post', 'update_content', 20, 3);
    if($new_post_id){
      wp_update_post( $my_post );
    } else{
      wp_insert_post( $my_post );

    }
    add_action('save_post', 'update_content', 20, 3);

    switch_to_blog(1);
  
      }
    }

  }
  add_action('save_post', 'update_content', 20, 3);

I would really appreciate it when someone could point me towards the right direction.
