My PS3 has been running YDL 5.0.2 continuously for about a week.  I
tested the time + date, it was OK.  So I rebooted it just to test the
time. The time + date is still OK.  I am in Brisbane, Australia
timezone, so currently same time as you (+10 hours).

Whenever faced with strange time problems like this, I always suggest
replacing the motherboard battery.  99% of the time that fixes things.
You didn't state what hardware you are running YDL on, so I can't
comment on motherboard issues.
