The timestamp on the actual ADS-B transmission from the aircraft transponder is the time that the position being sent was generated in the aircraft avionics. The timestamps are like that so out of sequence transmission receipts can be rebuilt by the air traffic management systems . I am not sure what FR24 / Flight Aware and others do with received ADS-B data from the amateur networks they use.
