Try playing with the roundrobin_% parameters, especially roundrobin_skip.

I'm not sure if this is part of the problem as I'm using 2 USB cameras
on my RPi4 and you're using composite video through an adapter but here
my Camera1.conf has videodevice /dev/video0 while Camera2.conf has
videodevice /dev/video4.? I can't find the easy way command right now
but can figure it out manually with VLC. Here Camera 1 had video1-3 and
Camera2 4-6.
