I don't know anything about logwatch.  But if your premise is correct,
and logs are being collected onto a central machine and then processed
and ending up in the central machine's /var/log/syslog file, that
would be equivalent to having syslog() and syslogd set up for remote
logging -- just with extra steps and delays.

This would certainly explain how sshd startup complaints from machine X
are ending up in the /var/log/syslog file on machine Y.

You'd think the OP would know about this, if they did in fact set up
such a thing.
