[Uptime] Improve refresh handling when generating test data

When generating test data we refresh excessively, this can fill up the
ES queues and break the tests if we run massive tests. I originally ran
into this with elastic#58078 which I
closed due to finding a better approach.

While none of our current tests have the scale to expose this problem,
we certainly will add tests that do later, so we should keep this
change.
