Moveit octomap problem: Transform error: Lookup would require extrapolation in the past
I am working with a Kuka iiwa robot in a setup with two intel D435 cameras. To plan and execute the movement, I use Moveit. Moveit also integrates camera point clouds to perform obstacle avoidance. I use noetic version 1.15.14. I have a problem when the robot enters the camera's field of view, Moveit logs this error, and the execution of movements is delayed (5 to 20 seconds after planning).

About Intel Realsense D435, by running rostopic echo -n 1 --offset /camera2/depth/color/points/header
I have:
seq: 119072
stamp:
secs: -1
nsecs: 943370104
frame_id: "camera2_color_optical_frame"
This implies that the camera timestamps are about 2 seconds behind the ros clock. Can this be a problem? Regarding this I also opened an issue (https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros/issues/2518)
About the robot, as with the cameras also on the robot side, I have a delay in timestamps; the internal clock of the robot cabinet is already synchronized with an NTP server on my machine. rostopic echo -n 1 --offset /iiwa/joint_states/header
returns:
seq: 119681
stamp:
secs: -1
nsecs: 999543966
frame_id: ''
About transformations, there is a static transformer that publishes the position of the cameras relative to the centre of the robot. Two relays combine the image of the cameras and pass them to Moveit.

This is my tf tree:
In light of this I ask for your help in solving this problem. Could the difference in timestamps affect the transformation? How can I solve it?
