:next means "edit the next file in the arglist". Vim loads the
current buffer with the contents of the next file in the arglist,
which turns off diff for that buffer.

That is probably not what you wanted to do. You probably wanted to
switch focus to the other diff window. You can do that with the
:wincmd command, e.g.,

-c "wincmd w"

See

:help wincmd
:help CTRL-W_w
:help window-move-cursor
