I've looked at the source file, which shows that's a silly argument:
logrotate.c contains
(((nowSecs - fst_buf.st_mtime) / 60 / 60 / 24)
> log->rotateAge))) {
i.e. a comparison of UTC times! If logrotate compares UTC times here,
then there's no reason why it cannot do that at some other places, in
particular if the goal is to detect whether a file has been modified
in the future.
