I'm not sure I get you topology. Packets are going from where to where,
and what link is the bottleneck for the transfer you're doing? Are you
measuring the latency along the same path?
Have you tried running 'mtr' to figure out which hop the latency is at?

This indicates ("dropped 0" and "ecn_mark 0") that there's no
backpressure on the qdisc, so something else is going on.
Also, you said the issue goes away if you downgrade the kernel? That
does sound odd...
