SOQL query returns no results Trigger but returns a row in Developer Console

I have the following code snippet in a Helper class that's being called by an After Insert trigger (modified to demonstrate my objective):
 
Set<Id> reuseIds = new Set<Id>();
reuseIds.add('a0g0R000001VnjMQAS');

List<ContentDocumentLink> allLinks = [SELECT Id, LinkedEntityId, ContentDocumentId FROM ContentDocumentLink WHERE LinkedEntityId IN :reuseIds];

System.debug('allLinks size: ' + allLinks.size());

The debug output is showing me that I'm getting zero results. However, when I run the same query in the debug console, I see the single row returned that I'm expecting.

I have included without sharing on the trigger Helper class even though my understanding is that's not necessary in a trigger, but it doesn't change my results.

Can anyone offer any clues as to what I may be experiencing here?

Does executing that script in the anonymous window retrieve the record or not?

I will also try to hardcode the 15 digits Id instead of the 18 digits one ('0R000001VnjMQAS')

I fooled myself into believing that it didn't work in an anonymous window by running this in the wrong environment. However, I just ran it in the correct environment and it DOES in fact come back with the expected record in an anonymous window.

Actually that was so strange ;)

Hi Mike,
I too having the same Issue with 'ContentDocumentLink' object. Should we raise a ticket with salesforce on this?

Hi Mike,

We can achive this by calling the soql alone from future method. It worked fine for me.
