In that case, you might wanna have an either/or meta query. Because if you just use NOT EXISTS, it’s going to include those that you checked and uncheck (which the featured_post is 0, but still consider “exists”)

$meta_query[] = [
    'relation' => 'OR',
    [
        'key' => 'featured_post',
        'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
    ],
    [
        'key' => 'featured_post',
        'value' => '1',
        'compare' => '!='
    ],
];

Cheers
