wp_get_archives ignores blog page

For some reason it appears as if wp_get_archives() is ignoring the homepage of the blogs posts (ie. the “Posts page” setting under Settings -> Reading). For instance, the Posts page is set to /blog/, and this code:

$args = array(
	'type'            => 'yearly',
	'limit'           => '',
	'format'          => 'custom', 
	'before'          => '<div class="arch-single"><span class="btn arch-toggle">',
	'after'           => '</span></div>',
	'show_post_count' => false,
	'echo'            => 1,
	'order'           => 'DESC',
    'post_type'     => $post_type
);
wp_get_archives( $args );

is generating this html:

<span class="btn arch-toggle"><a href='https://site.com/2017/'>2017</a></span>
<span class="btn arch-toggle"><a href='https://site.com/2016/'>2016</a></span>

While those date based root links do show the archives, things like pagination appear to not work, and $wp_query->max_num_pages returns 1 page even when there should be more. However, the correctly structured links, https://site.com/blog/2017/, allow pagination and $wp_query->max_num_pages to return the correct results. Is there a parameter to add in a url prefix for the archives? Shouldn’t it be automatically adding the /blog/ to the url, since that is the posts page?
