It also occurred in Chrome version 59.0.3071.109 (official build) (64 bit).

Thanks for the report. This is working as intended for now due to Html5ByDefault, where if you use a site a lot, it will be permitted to run Flash without prompting. This is a compatibility measure since there are still a lot of heavily used sites which rely on Flash

Over time, we are ramping up the usage threshold which a site has to meet in order to be permitted to run Flash without prompting the user. Eventually, running Flash will always prompt the user, but while we are transitioning, the two toggles in settings are slightly incongruous.
