I don't think this is a cause for concern. Polling will often take varying times as it depends on server and network loading. However, MRTG compensates for this by adjusting its internal rates based on the data logging times, so if the poll happens a few seconds late, then the rate of change will be very slightly adjusted to reflect this. If you use gauge, though, I think the numbers may be logged as-is to the data time window.
