What we have found based on volume is that the rollover for the bond contracts occurs one day before the last business day of the month before the contract month. This is what we now have set the rollover rules to. They are all consistent.

Do not use the volume-based rollover. It must be date-based. And if the date of the rollover has not actually come yet, the back adjustments are not going to work correctly.

When we set it to be 3 days before the last business day, and it is Date-based, the back adjustments do work correctly:
