If the last update was at time 10:55, and now is 10:58, maybe rrdtool
returns the interval starting at 10:55 and ending at 11:00.
This interval is not yet filled with data and thus is unknown.

When you ask for "--end now-5min", you will effectively be asking for
the period "10:50 to 10:55" which is available and not unknown.

When you ask for an end time of "10:55", I think rrdtool should also
return the interval 10:50 to 10:55.  In other words, make sure you ask
for a multiple of 5 minutes (more precise, a multiple of step) in stead
of "now-5min".
