Evolution will only filter messages if the IMAP server tells it that it
is the first client to see those messages. So if you ever read your mail
with another client, any messages it is told about (even if you don't
read them) won't get filtered by evolution.

It's also possible that you have some other rule that ends in "Stop
Processing" that matches some of these messages and causes filtering on
them to be stopped before reaching the evolution mailing list rule?

I would think it wouldn't do that, but yes, this is possible.
