iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.3, also using a MacBook pro

This appears to be a common issue with iCML since the iOS 11.3 update. There is no fix for this, but there is a work around until Apple fixes this: just create a blank playlist on the iOS device. This forces a read/write with the library stored in iCloud, then all your changes will suddenly get pulled down. You have to do this every time, it's essentially a manual refresh now.
