This also occurs on Ubuntu. Even a restart of rsyslog does not help.

I understand the problem: this is caused by a logrotate which does not reload syslog.

I've added another logrotate file which is specific to RHEL/CentOS. This will need an adaptation into the packaging. I've opened an issue for that: #3873

Hmm.... the commit does not appear. This is because the modification was into the repository rudder-techniques even if it concerns the system.
