You are adding up different max values. Consider this set of data :
a1 = 1 5 3 7 4
b1 = 2 6 9 1 4

If you do a graph of max (max a + max b) without any consolidation then you get 
the values :
m1 = 2 11 12 8 8

If you consolidate 5 values into one, you then get :
a2 ave = 4
a2 max = 7
b2 ave = 4.4
b2 max = 9

m2 (= max (max a2 + max b2)) = 16

So when you draw a graph over a longer time period, depending on the 
consolidation, you may see your maximum value go up (with these made up 
figures, by 1/3) when you add max values together.
