We have the following in solrconfig.xml, nothing related to timestamp
<requestHandler name="/elevate" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<lst name="defaults">

<str name="qf">

And the explain query doesn’t mention anything wrt to timestamp

Sounds strange.
Are you absolutely sure this insertion-time factor is not something
you are doing explicitly? I would add debug=all parameter to see that
you don't have some unexpectedly-complex biasing formula hiding in
solrconfig.xml parameter.
