Have you got a logrotate.conf script that exhibits this behaviour?

My suspicion is that you have "delaycompress" set:
delaycompress
Postpone compression of the previous log file to the next rota‐
tion cycle. This only has effect when used in combination with
compress. It can be used when some program cannot be told to
close its logfile and thus might continue writing to the previ‐
ous log file for some time.
