Two things I can think of cause this. A timing issue. If data is incorrectly timestamped it will be transformed incorrectly. This could also be caused by an incorrect frame_id though if it looks right in the base link, it's more likely the former.

The second option is simply that your odometry is not accurately reporting the rotation of the vehicle. If it under reports or over reports it will cause smearing like this.
