Create database from dump file - deleting data?

Working with a Version 5 Neo4j Enterprise edition server in a Kubernetes cluster. I am attempting to load a dump file into the online cluster using the neo4j-admin commands. The dump file was created from another offline instance.

The dump file is successfully loaded into the /databases/ directory. However, when I CREATE DATABASE in the cypher-shell, the data from the dump is erased and the new database is empty.

Any reason why this might be occurring?
