Cloud base comes from weewx. The info on the page before MQTT updates is a tag the skin uses
The info that's updated when MQTT connects is from the weewx-mqtt extension (which uses weewx to calculate). So if non-mqtt is correct, and mqtt is not, you may need to do a cloudbase override in the [[mqtt]] settings.
