It is.

The clock isn't set, it is adjusted with adjtime(2).  That takes
time.  The maximum clock skew rate is 5 ms per second.  Let's look
at the numbers above.  From 17:58:17 to 18:02:02, 225 seconds have
passed.  The clock can be adjusted by 1.125 seconds in that time.
Which is the difference in the logged adjustment values.
