Check your pbns

Well its not just me cause I found others to encounter the same. When you want check cache and how google crawled your PBN you may notice this https://imgur.com/a/JG3UFtm

Do you figure out what could be the cause of this and how it eventually influences your rankings?

Yes, I've seen this. Google said this is a bug and if they're not lying this shouldn't affect the rankings. Most probably means your PBNs have been moved to mobile-first indexing.

This happened to my money site as soon as I added an AMP plugin and properly implemented it. @snaip, what do you mean by mobile-first indexing?

 

[HairlessBeing]

Also, can confirm, there was a drop in rankings after this happened.

 

[IMFROMTHATPLACE]

yap confirmed today, also drop in rankings.

 

[itz_styx]

it shouldnt affect rankings, its only the cache. that is, if you can believe what google says about it...

The cache bug affects sites switched to mobile first indexing, so depending how mobile friendly your site is, there could be a drop as well. Not because of the bug, but because of the mobile first indexing in general.

What are the reasons of this moving to mobile-indexing first? Is it a good or bad thing?

I have it like this on PBNs and even money sites. Doesn't influence anything. Money sites are rankings high and very well crawled/indexed.

I recently had this issue but PBn link showed up on console so I doubt it affects anything.

Well, mobile traffic already exceeds desktop traffic in Google search for quite a time, so Google slowly but steadily switches to mobile indexing. Means, your desktop version is ignored and the mobile version determines rankings. Good for responsive sites, bad for sites with a cut down mobile version or sites that aren't mobile friendly at all.
