So you are checking against GPS, right?

If the system is properly calibrated, then the offset should be
minimal, and the difference in distance should be reflected in the
path delay.

We do have options to calibrate the system:

 delayAsymmetry - corrects for any asymmetry between the Rx and Tx paths
 egressLatency  - corrects the transmit latency at the MAC/PHY
 ingressLatency - corrects the receive latency at the MAC/PHY

What you observe sounds like an asymmetry.  If it is, then it is
surprising to me that the asymmetry grows with distance.  Then again,
I don't know anything about your equipment, and so maybe this is
simply a property of your fibre optic links.

HTH,
