Laravel 5.4 back() with input and error data does not work with catch all route

I have a catchall route configured in laravel like below:

    // catch all
    Route::get('{catchall}', [
        'uses' => 'MyGenericController@index'
    ])->where('catchall', '(.*)');

    Route::put('{catchall}', [
        'uses' => 'MyGenericController@update'
    ])->where('catchall', '(.*)');

And in the MyGenericController I am redirecting back in the update() action if something went wrong. And then I am checking for the values in request object in the index action/method as below:

class MyGenericController extends MyBaseController {

  public function index($paramNameAtTheEndOfUrl) {
     // Check if any data exist in Request because of failure from update
    \Log::info( " data = " . print_r(request()->all(), true) );
  } // index

  public function update((Request $request) {

     try {
         ...
        // Do somethings
     } catch (\Exception $e) {
       return back()->withInput($request->all())->withErrors([$e->getMessage()]);
     }
  } // Update

}

Now what I am observing is that the index method is not receiving the request object data when I get exception in update and I redirect back.

So as per my understanding, if I am doing a back() call in update() method/action using withInput(request()->all()) and withError(...), I should be expecting the old values in my index() action.

But I see empty request ( no input data passed back ) in the index() method.

Why is this happening?

This is how you get old input (->old() instead of ->all()):

\Log::info( " data = " . print_r(request()->old(), true) );
