Polkadot unclear reward's destination

Confirmation

• My issue isn't already found on the issue tracker.
• I have read the Subscan API documentation (if it seemed to be an API bug).

Affected Network(s)

Polkadot

Steps to reproduce

For this Polkadot account: 12Z3Bhjn42TPXy5re2CiYz1fqMd21i2XyBLmbekbjLXrqVBV
We have this event: https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/1420667-3?event=1420667-3 of 29.82 DOT reward

The last set_payee was at this transaction: https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/237362-3
with this payload: {"name":"payee", "type":"RewardDestination", "value":"Staked"}

Meaning the reward should go directly to staking balance and not to the free balance

However, looking at the balances before and after, they seem to change:
value before this event is: 0.2399600033
value after this event is: 30.1869000451

Meaning the reward did go to this account, how can we know it was intended to go to the free balance and not to the staking balance

Expected output

Reward going directly to staking balance

Actual output

Reward going directly to free balance

This looks like a similar problem:

This reward: https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/1967393-2?event=1967393-2
for this account: 15oKi7HoBQbwwdQc47k71q4sJJWnu5opn1pqoGx4NAEYZSHs goes to this account (13TrsUgdF5VWHnM7diyLCGCVR6xCmEpf3uA7UAsCrqk4ExGc)

the account is set here as the controller: https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/1330504-2
to this account: 13TrsUgdF5VWHnM7diyLCGCVR6xCmEpf3uA7UAsCrqk4ExGc

But I don't see any "set_payee" to controller

@evyatar-tres Thanks for your feedback. It looks like a history issue. We will reindex this data
