I'm not sure how we pull the database but is it possible that there are multiple
upstream servers of that data and we pull from different instances which may not
have all updated to the same data? Would there be any way to investigate/prove
that?

I'm a little worried about the inconsistencies. I'm guessing your builds don't
share a DL_DIR so they'd fetch different CVE databases?
