So in other words, you have one sync config and ended up writing into
different local address books with it?

The choice of the default local address book is a bit fuzzy, but usually
it should pick the "Personal" address book (aka system) even if more
address books are added later.

What does "syncevolution" (without parameters) say on your system?

The SyncEvolution "backend" config property can be set to select a
specific address book, instead of using the default. That should fix the
problem of using the wrong one.

Syncing multiple address books is difficult. SyncEvolution supports it,
but most peers don't.

A HOWTO involving SyncEvolution can be found here:

Android supports more than one address book. The Synthesis SyncML app
allows you to choose and create local address books. I don't remember
whether it supports more than one address book per server. If not, then
at least configuring the same server multiple times with different local
and remote address books should work.
