A Question to Kabam about the new way the game updates...

Before, the game use to unpack packets and all that in game to update, however now (over the past 2-4 months or smtn like that) it just updates in your respective app store and you can play right off the bat. My question has to do with the new way of updating. I found recently (and this only happens with Contest of Champions) that when the game updates, it says it needs more free storage than what is available. Here's the thing... That has never ended up being the case!
To clarify what I mean, lets take the example of the Android hotfix. I have about 5GB of free space on my phone, the app wouldn't update unless I freed about 1 more Gig of storage, but the update (the hotfix) only ended up being like 5 MB, so like what was the point of needing to free an additional gig? Why did the game refuse to update unless I freed the additional storage?
Notably this only happens with Contest of Champions, and no other apps! I've talked with a few peeps about this in my alliance and they all say the same thing has happened to them over the past few months, where since the implementation of the new updating method they've been unable to update unless they freed some storage, but when the updates complete, it was completely futile in the first place to free that storage.
Is the full game being reinstalled alongside the update? If not, why is this happening in the first place?

It's vexing but it's how it is
