Thanks for your well written bug report!
I can reproduce the problem on 18.04, but not on 20.04 or groovy, so the
problem seems to have been fixed in later versions. For that reason, and
since the workaround (reboot or relogin) is a natural measure, I set the
importance to "Low".

Title:
Keyboard won't switch its layout to a newly added second input source
unless their order is rearranged
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
What should happen:
Adding a second input source (Russian, in my case) should result in being
able to switch to it and use it immediately.
What happens now:
It is not recognized until you rearrange its order, or reboot.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Have English set as primary language.
2. Go to Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources and add Russian.
3. Russian layout is added to Input Sources and the indicator becomes visible
in the Top Bar.
4. You can switch between languages with the assigned keyboard shortcut but
the text input won't change.
5. Rearrange their order in Input Sources: make Russian primary, English
secondary.
6. You can now enter text in Russian.
7. You can now put Russian back to being second in the list (so it does not
cause problems at logic screen, opening up new browser window, etc.)
or 5. Reboot.
Screenshots are attached. The bug is easily reproduced as many times
as possible.
