If something underneath a directory gets changed in certain ways a directory attribute might be changed. The first char is "." in your example which means nothing was transferred, so there might have been a modification time "t" attribute change made due to some change to something underneath the directory. That "<" on the file means a transfer was made, and so one of the likely culprits of the modification time change to the directory.
