Maybe a clue : do you take advantage of (*the so cool*) (un)plug
feature ?

Ok forget about that it can't be the source of your problems ;)

Maybe you have defined an alist of servers not to be checked during a
g-g-g-n-n ? (at least automatically) 

Last but not least how do you call the function ? 
This is the relevant info section for g-g-g-n-n :

,----[ C-h f gnus-group-get-new-news RET ]
| gnus-group-get-new-news is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-group'.
| (gnus-group-get-new-news &optional ARG)
| 
| Get newly arrived articles.
| If ARG is a number, it specifies which levels you are interested in
| re-scanning.  If ARG is non-nil and not a number, this will force
| "hard" re-reading of the active files from all servers.
| 
| [back]
`----

Maybe your groups are not on the same level ? Maybe you inhibit some
hooks such as gnus-get-top-news-hook or gnus-get-new-news-hook ?

Sorry if I am not clear but I am still a n00b at trying to help people
getting out of their problems :)
