I think your blank site collection was a problem with Microsoft yesterday, as 3 tenants I checked didn’t show up any site collections for about 4 hours. Also prevented me from creating a site collection via powershell. Seemed to be ok by 3pm UK times yesterday.
Half way through the afternoon(uk time) this was fixed and working again. Thanks for your comment.

Potentially they should have shown up in both groups and sites.
