Lately I've noticed that if I retrieve a TLE on SpaceTrack by entering the satellite ID and leaving the selection as "Latest Elset" it will return a recent TLE, but not necessarily the latest. If I select "Last 5 Elsets" it will return at least one that is more recent than the one that was returned as "Latest." Example: Requesting 32058 (FOTON M3) returned the "Latest" with epoch of 07267.836... But asking for the "Last 5" returns: 07267.336... 07267.696... 07267.836... 07268.210... 07268.578... Notice that there are actually TWO newer TLEs since what it told me was the "Latest." Have others on this list seen this?
