Refutations and competing null results get published in different journals all the time. Seminal results get shown to be kind of not seminal 10 years later more often than you might think.

This isn't a violation of scientific ethics and I think its a silly argument to make. Journals aren't the parents of research results they publish and somehow responsible for all counter arguments or competing data points.
