Indefinite gag orders aren't a good thing, but if there is an investigation and knowledge of that investigation can interfere with it then I can see why they would be "asked" not to publish it.
These asks should have time limits though, just like security disclosure. The only valid reason to keep it under covers would be just that: because it could interfere with an ongoing investigation.
Asking to not disclose inquiries while an investigation is ongoing, or "withing 12 months due to an ongoing criminal investigation" would have better optics.
