Additional Information

This behavior is a known limitation in ArcGIS Online. Overwriting a hosted feature layer from a file requires the file to have the same schema as the file that was originally used to publish the hosted feature layer. ArcGIS Online documentation states: "The same fields and feature classes (in the case of file geodatabases) must be present in the updated file as were in the original file...If you overwrite and the schemas and feature class names do not match, the feature layer and web maps that use the feature layer may not function as expected. If the source data schema has changed, or if you want to preserve the edits made to the data in the hosted feature layer, load the file as a new item and publish a new layer instead." Refer to this documentation: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/manage-hosted-feature-layers.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_1D3A87A80E3E4CD2A71744715F1522FE for more information.
