Does anyone have any ideas why I'm seeing messages out of order?
well, yes in general; specifics are left for header research.
email is not (and given the random universe of possible
senders, and permissible load management and retries, probably
cannot be) designed to serialize delivery; gmail adds an
unknown filtering process with its own 'special sauce', and
may well be set to delay and to 'build reputation' of what it
decides is a related corpus of spam/ham candidates
[greylisting and RBL 4xx temporary rejects are other
approaches]
