When testing user-defined block settings, you must also check how any change would affect the default block styles. Using inherit would increase the citation font size from 16 to 19, matching the quote paragraph.

The theme theoretically could use a relative measurement of 0.8421052632em for the citation, which would scale with custom sizes set on the block. The editor styles should reflect that too.

In 63425.1.patch​, I added .wp-block-quote cite in the editor stylesheet to override styles from the block library theme.css.
