Business Rule Entity Scope doesn't run server side

Following scenario:

I have a Business Rule which has this condition:
check if field a (date) contains data and if field b (lookup) contains a certain value B (related record, name is unique).

If condition is met: set field value b (lookup) to another value C (again unique named related record).
If condition is not met: do nothing.

So, now if I have another process which updates field b to value B in the background while field a contains data (which means the condition for my Business Rule is met) the Business Rule is still not triggering the update of field b to C. Even when it has Entity Scope and should run server side.

I recognize this by searching relevant fields a and b via Advanced Find.

However the Business Rule runs client side when I open the form. The form then also tells me immediately "unsaved changes" after having it loaded.

So is it really that Business Rules with "Scope: Entity" always run Server Side?

If yes, what else could be the reason why this here doesn't work?
