The file timestamps on the "ls -la" listing that you didn't post are the same timestamps as the "-mtime" to "find".
I guess that when you used ftp to copy the files it was less than 30 days ago.

Basically I am ftping an pdf file thats 90 days old onto server.
This sentence is ambiguous. Not at all clear which server is which.
Your main issue appears to be that you are copying files and not preserving the timestamp (or not looking at the timestamp of the original file).
There is rarely a reason to use "ftp" except between unix and disparate servers (e.g. an IBM Mainframe or a Windows server). Do you have the option to use proper unix commands to transfer files between servers?

pam_timestamp_check
pam_timestamp_check(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_timestamp_check(8)
NAME
pam_timestamp_check - check or clear authentication timestamps
SYNOPSIS
pam_timestamp [[-d]|[-k]] [target_user]
DESCRIPTION
With no arguments, pam_timestamp_check will check to see if the default timestamp is valid, or optionally remove it.
OPTIONS
-k instead of checking the validity of a timestamp, remove it. This is analogous to sudo's -k option.
-d Instead of returning validity using an exit status, loop indefinitely, polling regularly and printing the status on standard output.
target_user
The default behavior of pam_timestamp_check checks or removes timestamps generated by pam_timestamp when the user authenticates as
herself. When the user authenticates as a different user, the name of the timestamp file changes to accomodate this.
DIAGNOSTICS
When checking if a timestamp is valid, pam_timestamp_check returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 on error:
2: binary is not setuid-root
3: invalid invocation
4: user unknown
5: permissions error
6: invalid controlling tty
7: other error
