time.between - conditions not met even though they are

Anyone able to shed some light on when automations get polled and triggered? I currently have 5 automations created to change the color of a bulb in the dining room. They are triggered using the time.between and are set between: 

  1. daylight 0600 - 1200
  2. cool white 1200 - 1800
  3. warm white 1800 - 2000
  4. incandescent 2000 - 2200
  5. candlelight (warmest) 2200+

So far a and b have been consistently triggering, however c has triggered about 3/4 times and the remaining two have not triggered at all. all 5 automations are exactly the same except for the time.between being set to their appropriate times described above and their respective actions. Looking at the logs I can see some pretty random polling times so I'm wondering if there's a reason I missed and if it's possible to have these trigger more accurately?

Here are the logs which show some big gaps between when the automations are checked. This was specifically for the candlelight automation, but it looks like all 5 of the automations are being checked at the same time with the same missing time gaps
