I don’t know the specific episode/sot you are referring to, but I have some insight. The time from the sot often takes time to register, especially after a throw to a host/reporter/anchor, as it bounces to the satellite and then returns to the broadcast master, and again to whatever receiver is showing the image. I know that internet images are usually faster than the ones shown on television, as the master control is usually by-passed. This can result in image delays of a minimum of 30 sec to master, and more to whatever TV station is airing it. Weather or interference may result in further delays. So, a “Live” airing may have time delays, while still being “Live”.
Discrepancies happen, though, when the “LIVE” bug or crawl recorded is shown in subsequent airing and the bug/crawl wasn’t edited out and/or removed. This is when you see the same thing airing hours or even days later, with the “LIVE” still in. This is when it is NOT live.

I hope this helps.
