I'm still wondering why this happens to a pool. So far I could only observe this for Foundry USA and ViaBTC. Any explanations or ideas for this?

My speculation is those pool run multiple servers either for redundancy or allowing miner on different region to have lower latency/higher bandwidth. Node on those server immediately broadcast mined block, without checking whether other of their server have also mined block with same height first.
