Can you explain the logic behind the approach here? Empty topics are the "general chat" feature.

By empty I mean "does not contain messages". Our chat has a general chat that seems to contain messages on the application but messages[-1] raises an exception. So I figured we would not update the dates from non-existent messages.
Are you expecting to see no messages in "general chat"?
