A difference in +/- 15ms out of 200ms round trip time, just is not that big a deal. That's sort of jitter is entirely characteristic of most high-latency network paths and is far from worst-case. ntpd closely tracks the round trip time and jitter in round trip time between all sources and uses a very wise algorithm to reject any that don't look good. If a source with 200ms latency and 15 ms jitter is rejected, it's probably because of its latency, and not because of its jitter. ntpd is also very good at excluding individual samples with high popcorn spikes. These drive the pool scores low rapidly yet ntpd has no problem at all dealing with time sources with this kind of random network asymmetry.
