query on contentdocumentlink returning wrong results

I am having trouble with a query on contentdocumentlink.
I upload a document to an account. Then I query the contentdocumentlink to get the linkentityid and I get a different id.
Any idea why this is happening. 
Here is the test class and the query.

query from trigger:

list<account> a= new list<account>();
 list<ContentDocumentlink> doc= [select id, LinkedEntityId from contentdocumentlink where contentdocumentid=: newdoc.ContentDocumentId];
      System.debug(doc);
  if(!doc.isempty())
            A= [select name, id from account where id=: doc[0].LinkedEntityId];
      system.debug(a);

This is the test code
@isTest
public class TestNewFileAlert 
{

    public static testmethod void MyUnitTest()
    {
           Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='Standard User'];
        User futureUser = new User(firstname = 'Future', lastname = 'User',
                                   alias = 'future', defaultgroupnotificationfrequency = 'N',
                                   digestfrequency = 'N', email = 'test@test.org',
                                   emailencodingkey = 'UTF-8', languagelocalekey='en_US', 
                                   localesidkey='en_US', profileid = p.Id, 
                                   timezonesidkey = 'America/Los_Angeles',
                                   username = 'futureasdasdasuser@test.org',
                                   userpermissionsmarketinguser = false,
                                   userpermissionsofflineuser = false, userroleid= null);
        insert(futureUser);
        System.runAs(futureUser)
        {
            
            Account acct = new Account(Name='TEST_ACCT');
            insert acct;
            system.debug(acct);
            
            ContentVersion contentVersion = new ContentVersion
            (
                Title = 'Penguins',
                PathOnClient = 'Penguins.jpg',
                VersionData = Blob.valueOf('Test Content'),
                IsMajorVersion = true
            );
            insert contentVersion; 
            Test.setCreatedDate(contentVersion.Id, DateTime.now());
            
            List<ContentDocument> documents = [SELECT Id, Title, LatestPublishedVersionId FROM ContentDocument];
            
            //create ContentDocumentLink  record 
            ContentDocumentLink cdl = New ContentDocumentLink();
            cdl.LinkedEntityId = acct.id;
            cdl.ContentDocumentId = documents[0].Id;
            cdl.shareType = 'V';
            insert cdl;
            Test.setCreatedDate(cdl.Id, DateTime.now());
        }

    }
}

Hi,

You might have deleted the document in classic.
I would suggest you refer below help article to know 
ContentDocument and ContentDocumentLink trigger behavior in Classic and in Lightning.

LinkedEntityID returns the ID of the User, not the ID of the parent Account
