Phasing Rules Interaction

I’m trying to wrap my head around an interaction I had on Arena:

First, I used [[Kitesail Larcenist]] to turn an opponent‘s creature into a Treasure. Then, I phased my Larcenist out with [[March of Swirling Mist]].

When Larcenist phases out, the opponent’s creature stops being a Treasure. When Larcenist phases back in, the opponent’s creature continues to not be a treasure.

I understand the first part, the Larcenist doesn’t exist so it won’t continue to affect my opponent’s creature, but I‘m confused with the second part. Since phasing doesn’t cause the Larcenist to leave the battlefield, when it returns isn’t it the same game object still choosing my opponent’s creature?
