When we fetch attestation data with the fetcher, we are doing this in a loop, which takes variable amount of time, based on the beacon node's performance. If the beacon node is underperforming it might be that in the middle of this loop it receives a new block. This will result some attestation datas having the up to date head, while others have an old head.
In a good scenario of well performing beacon node, the heads will be the same and the
valueandattData.Datawill be equal. However, in the scenario explained above, their head will missmatch, resulting in inequality.That's why we are checking here only if source and target missmatch.
