I'm beginning to visual this but want to confirm. On the Albatross with the the 11 cm stem, your hands are roughly in the same place as on the drops? That makes sense.
With drops and a 10 cm stem, my hands would be 60-70 mm ahead of the stem, or 160-170 mm ahead of the steering axis. By changing to upright bars (with a slight flair) with the same 10 cm stem, my hands moved back to to roughly the steering axis. It sounds like I need to get my hands forward of the steering axis to mimic the drop bar position.
