after you push at the end of the session, you should be able to do
"git reset" at the other side to tell Git to notice that the updated
working tree files that were transferred behind its back are now in
sync with what is supposed to be checked out.

If this is the case, why do my fresh clones contain the most recent commit?

Exactly. Why does your "push" not result in "git log" to show the
most recent commit? Once you solve that, "git reset" would do
the right thing, I would think, just like a fresh clone shows the
latest.  The thing is, that I didn't quite find out what your "push"
is doing wrong in your original message.
