Help with podcast rss refresh

The tag has to go in the old feed, which has to be left up for 2 weeks to allow all subscribers a chance to pick it up and change to the new one.

Using Podcasts Connect has the disadvantage of updating only the iTunes Store, not subscribers. If you are able, it's better to add the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the original feed. That and other methods are detailed here:

I don't know why Podcasts Connect should behave like this. When Anchor create a feed in the first place, they usually submit it under their own Apple ID, making it their podcast, not the creator's. I don't know how it works if you transfer to them. It may be that they want to use their ID, in which case you would have to contact Podcasts Support who can give you instrcutions on how to do this I would strongly advise you not to: if it goes under Anchor's ID you won't be able to get statistics or indeed get into Podcasts Connect for your podcast. There are plenty of hosting services which don't pull this stunt.
