Clients won't download server model under the global evaluation

[imguangyu]

Hi, Thanks for your efforts in providing such a neat and handy framework.

However, it seems _request with retain_model=False is never called under the global evaluation setting. As a result, the sampled client won't download the global model since client.model is not None.

Please correct me if there is anything I overlooked.

Thanks!

Sorry for super late reply 😢
I've just completed my preliminary PhD defense and also preapring for upcoming ICML 2024 submission.
I am going to dig into this issue until the end of February. Thank you!
