It's likely timestamp miner put into block, not when block was received, can be off for hours.
A block is allowed to have a timestamp strictly higher than the median of the last 11(?) blocks.
Timestamps are difficult in distributed systems.
A block’s time stamp is valid when it's greater than the median of the last eleven blocks and less than the evaluating node’s current time plus two hours: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/915/5406
Timestamping is hard
That's interesting.... from mempool's doc:
