I'm not sure if you mean you changed your MX records so they became the same,
but you're still seeing a skew, or you mean the MXs have always been the
same, but you're seeing a skew anyway...

If you changed them, what's the remote server cache time on your DNS records?

24 hours sounds like insufficient time for remote DNS servers to discover the
change to me.
