It’s not clear, but it may be due to a lack of canonical ordering of packets. Say Alice and Bob have both signed my key, but keyserver A and keyserver B have different copies of my key with Alice and Bob’s signatures in opposite order from each other. These keys will have different checksums, even though they contain the same functional information. If the sync process doesn’t result in A and B reordering the sigs in the same way, then they will keep syncing (successfully!) forever, incrementing the number of changes each time.
