What you are saying is like this in pseudo code:

The execution time of this loop is more than 60 seconds.  Say it
takes 0.1 seconds to 'run_rrdtool'.  If you require the updates to
be no further apart than 60 seconds, and if you update every 60.1
seconds, each update will arrive too late.

I'm not saying this has to be the cause of your problem.  I do say
something like this is the most likely cause.


Try changing that 'N' into a real timestamp and then log every update
command so you can do some analysis.
