Cleaning cycles can pull ink from those carts faster than the sponge can
release it.  So, sometimes after a couple of cleaning cycles the nozzle
check on a good cart will suddenly show gaps.  It might just be air and need
some time to release more ink into the little chamber above the outlet.

This may not be what is happening, but I try to avoid too many cleaning
cycles.  If there is definitely a large air bubble in the system, re-priming
the cart might pull it out.
