Why is the ATOM feed more up to date then the RSS feed?

Sorry, no URL here since the installation is not publicly accessible.

I've noticed that on my installation the ATOM feed of the recent changes page [1] is always more up to date then the RSS2 version [2]. I've checked the source feed and found out that both feeds have different generation times:

  • ATOM: <updated>2014-04-22T14:08:50Z</updated>
  • RSS2: <lastBuildDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:20:25 GMT</lastBuildDate>

So to me this looks like some sort of caching problem. I've tried calling action=purge on Special:Recentchanges, but that didn't help. Do you have any ideas how to get the RSS feed as up to date as the ATOM feed?

P.S.: I've recently updated my installation from MediaWiki 1.16.5. I didn't noticed this issue in this old version, by the way...

[1]: index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=atom

[2]: index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss
