I'll pick gnome-calculator as an example since it shows stretched in
both Xenial and Yakkety.
The issue seems to be the appstream generator is making stretched
thumbnails and gnome-software / appstream-glib is choosing these over
the original images. For gnome-calculator (which shows the problem in
both Xenial and Yakkety) the dep11 data [1] gives:

The large thumbnails are distorted and should not be used/generated.

Title:
Some app screenshots wrongly stretched in Ubuntu version of Gnome
Software
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Looking at Thunar in Gnome Software, the Ubuntu version of GS
stretches the screenshot, making it look ugly. Upstream apparently
doesn't do this and uses grey letterboxing. (See attached
screenshots.)
