Just because an update has been written does not mean that a "bucket" has been filled with data. it will need several updates, including one after the end of a bucket before that bucket will have any data - and even then, whether it does or doesn't have a value will depend on your heartbeat setting, "fudge factor", and the freqency of updates.

The data you give doesn't give any clue at all about what previous updates you've done. What I suggest you do is put together a set of updates which demonstrate the problem, then someone might be able to spot the problem.
