WooCommerce Payments merchants directed to re-onboard after WooCommerce Payments is connected

Describe the bug

This bug got reported in the WooCommerce repository and I'm moving to here.

Link of the original report: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/32045

Prerequisites

[X] I have carried out troubleshooting steps and I believe I have found a bug.
[X] I have searched for similar bugs in both open and closed issues and cannot find a duplicate.

Describe the bug

In 4825826-zen, the Set up payments option of the store setup wizard at WooCommerce > Home has a Finish Setup button, even though the merchant has already onboarded and connected their site to WooCommerce Payments.

This link takes them to domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&path=%2Fpayments%2Fconnect, which generates the following error:

Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

This is expected, as merchants who have already connected their blog_id to WooCommerce Payments will be unable to onboard again. However, this merchant should not be provided with the Finish Setup option, as their site is already connected to WooCommerce Payments.

After some discussion with @rafaelzaleski, we've determined that the Set up payments option in the wizard is directing the user to domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&task=payments&id=woocommerce_payments%3Aus, which has a Finish Setup button even if the merchant has already onboarded with WooCommerce Payments.

Expected behavior

If a site is currently connected to WooCommerce Payments, the Set up payments option of the store set up wizard at WooCommerce > Home should always direct to domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&task=payments.

Actual behavior

Occasionally, merchants whose sites are connected to WooCommerce Payments are directed to domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&task=payments&id=woocommerce_payments%3Aus when they select Set up payments at WooCommerce > Home. This page has a Finish Setup button, which will direct them to domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&path=%2Fpayments%2Fconnect, which generates the following error:

Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

Steps to reproduce

I have been unable to reproduce this issue. @rafaelzaleski has been able to in the dev and release versions of WooCommerce Payments.

Log into a site connected to a WooCommerce Payments account
Navigate to WooCommerce > Home.
Select Set up payments.
You may be given an option for Finish Setup. If you do and you select it, you will be sent to a page with a Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page. error.
