Changes in the default layout not affecting the front end

I have a layout file which I am accessing and editing through the back end then CMS then layouts. When I apply this layout to the home page with the URL of / the changes are not appearing on the front end. When I apply this layout to all other pages its showing. Anything I am doing wrong?
Below is the Image with the home page with the default layout applied.

The home page is not displaying the layout but the other pages are. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it might be a caching issue.
