This is by design unfortunately. It's confusing and bites everybody who runs more than one farm in their scalr account.
Sync-all will restart instances with the same source role name regardless of what farm they are in; thus if you have r1 in nine different farms if you sync it to r3 all nine farms will be changed to r3. To recover go into each farm and set the role back to r1. To prevent that from occurring next time instead of creating a farm and selecting r1 as your source instance; go to roles new and create r3 and base it off of an instance running r1. After you've synced and renamed the requisite roles, create your farm using the new role names, modify to suit then sync those roles again. I see no advantage to the current design, I've never needed a cross farm sync but it's bitten me in the ass more times than I care to admit.
