The way that ACF locations rules work you must pass all of the rules you want met, or set them when creating a group. It does not check rules that are not set.

If you have a rule set for a field group that of post type is equal to post this is all that will be checked.

To check another rule the location rule needs to be in the rules for that group, for example prefix end point does not equal new

As an example create a field group and set the location rules of the group to current user is equal to logged in. When you are logged in this group will appear on all admin pages where ACF is able to add field group. It does not, for example, test to see if is should be on the post edit page or the user profile page.
