To add to what Toli has already written, the FIX specification requires
the latency checks. I assume this is to avoid erroneous processing of
old messages. In some cases, there may even be regulatory issues with
executing excessively old order (for example). To get a more detailed
answer, you could try posting  your question on the FPL forums. The two
minute default is what is recommended in the specification.

If you are logging incoming messages, then you still have the raw
messages that were sent. I'd recommend checking the log record
timestamp (which is based on your local time) with the SendingTime
field value in the messages. It's possible there is a problem with
your counterparty's recovery implementation.
