systemd-tmpfiles-clean is racy, but only cleans things as per tmpfiles.d/ configs in /run /etc /usr/lib, for things that explicitely specify to clean themself older than some value.

For /tmp the affected paths are older than 10 days only:
d /tmp/.X11-unix 1777 root root 10d
d /tmp/.ICE-unix 1777 root root 10d
d /tmp/.XIM-unix 1777 root root 10d
d /tmp/.font-unix 1777 root root 10d
d /tmp/.Test-unix 1777 root root 10d

To figure out what actually happened, we need a reproducer or detailed logs, including journal, and contents of /run/tmpfiles.d /etc/tmpfiles.d /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d

I do not recommend using /tmp on security grounds, but I do recommend to set PrivateTmp=true in the systemd units to get a secure /tmp /var/tmp for your service.
