I'm studying sequence, and I set a transaction valid after 512 seconds. First of all I use regtest and I start from clean blockchain, after that I mine 114 blocks. At this point miner creates a transaction and tries to send it
My decode transaction

I Give an error when I try to use sendrawtransaction
error code: -26
error message:
non-BIP68-final (code 64)
And it's correct because my UTXO (88fb1408675c774c36692f170c6122af49cab7a5bab336272f0e4d8c0ef8c89a
) come from the block with height 2 and 113 confirmations, and its median time is 1590276467
(2020-05-24 01:27:47 CET/CEST) and My transaction is valid after 512 seconds (Date:2020-05-24 01:41:23 CET/CEST) and the best block has that value 2020-05-24 01:28:06 CET/CEST (it's not useful)
Now, If I create another transaction with the TXID comes from block with height 1 and 114 confirmations it works, I can send it. Below my transaction and details.

The median time of block 1 and 114 confirmations is 1590276486
(2020-05-24 01:28:06 CET/CEST) and my transaction should be valid after 512 seconds (2020-05-24 01:45:05 CET/CEST), and my best block median time is 2020-05-24 01:28:06 CET/CEST
Below, the details of block 2 with 114 confirmations

}
Now, I know the sequence (00000000010000000000000000000001
) is checked on median time of UTXO's block, But block 2 (with 114 confirmations) and block 3 (with 113 confirmations) are very similar and very close, and I don't understand why with block height 2 I'm able to send the transaction.
