Because that's approx 300 secs (the polling interval) after the previous 
entry.
Exact delay will depend on response time of the SNMP call, the CPU load, 
the accuracy of your machine's clock etc etc.
It may wander, but who cares? So long as it measures at roughly regular 
intervals (and uses that interval in its calculation) the graph will be 
right.
