Within BGP it can be considered an anomaly that the local-pref metric uses
the opposite ordering compared to all other metrics;  RPSL seems to try to
"cure" this (which probably is as bad an idea as the anomaly in BGP)

probably actual data would be needed to figure out what you are seeing,
and probably also what software version you are using....
(sorry, I cannot volunteer to help more).
