Yes, there is a clock-skew stored on the servers, but over time if the NTP is 
now correct it "drifts back" to reality.

Imagine it that the CSN lamport clock is "in the future" and always has to 
advance, but if it advances just a bit "slowly", eventually NTP/system clocks 
will catch up, and they'll get back to normal. 

Does that make sense? 

Happy to have helped, and glad the issue has been resolved!
