Seems far more likely the timestamp is incorrect.
When writing a feed-based app, timestamps are one of the first things you inevitably screw up (read it from local vs. the server, pull it from exif and then decide to pull it from upload date, forget a timezone, fix a local time on the server that was out of sync, update the timezone on edit vs on creation, etc etc etc).
