You are right with this issue. All the stations that send the metadata
(Title and artist) in the right sequence show artwork.
Other station that send the metadata like sublime or for example SWR3
send the artist and the title together in the artist tag don’t show
artwork
because TuneIn can’t find a cover that match the content of the
metadata.

The problem is that afaik there's no standard for how that metadata is being sent in the stream. It seems to be some kind of de-facto standard everybody started using. The info is just "StreamTitle", but no definition as to whether to put artist or track title first. We split it and assume one is first. Which has been working fine for many years and stations. Why some changed recently, I don't know.
