Git's smart enough to realize it's the same commit and skip it.

Common workflow use of cherry-pick:

Say you have a master branch and a release branch
You have a bug in production (off your release branch)
You have other changes in master that are not ready for release
You make a commit to fix the bug and merge to master, run CI and verify it's fixed
Cherry pick the change to the release branch and release as normal
Merge with master before next release to make sure you can cut a new release

All this works without issue.
