It loooks to have missed the 'origin' part.

One usually does 'git checkout origin/staging -b staging'

The -b creates a new branch. And you called it staging.
But it may have nothing to do with the origin staging.

git branch -r

gives a good idea of the remote branches (so the ones you pull from)
vs the local ones:

git branch

Usually when you clone a tree it will clone the 'master' branch.
So I think your 'staging' is at the same commit as the 'master'.
If you want the latest, you would need to do:

git branch -d staging
git checkout origin/staging -b staging


P.S.
The Git Manual is very solid.
