No Waypoint sync in ingress?

Hi
I got two nominations approved which both appeared in Pokemon Go but not in Ingress. Does anyone know a reason for this?
Since gyms in PoGo are decided by the number of likes/photos in Ingress, is there any other way to controll what becomes a gym?

Each game has its own rules about howspot is displayed.
Ingress will not display if it is close to an existing wayspot. (I've heard it's 20m)
There should is enough distance to already existing waypoints. Also from my experience waypoints first show up in ingress and then in PoGo. When they're not in ingress they don't show up in PoGo either.
That's not been the case for a long time. It used to be the case when Ingress was the database, but when they migrated to Lightship a couple of years ago, the games stopped having an effect on each other. So now it's possible for something to be in Pokémon Go but not in Ingress. All it takes is for the new wayspot to be in an unoccupied level 17 S2 cell, but within 20 metres of an existing Ingress Portal - that makes it appear in Pokémon Go, but not Ingress.
Also, typically Pokémon Go's daily sync happens a few hours before the Ingress daily sync.

This does not work any more. Ingress has no effect on Pokémon Go. And also it's technically considered abuse to try to manipulate the game map in this way.
All that being said, it does look like there was no Ingress sync last night. I had a wayspot removed, and it vanished from Pokémon Go as expected, but still shows on the Ingress map currently.
There was a sync Thursday morning for ingress happened around 5am CDT.
Thanks for your reply. That answers my questions
That's a very weird time for a sync. I'm used to Ingress sync happening somewhere between 10pm and midnight here in the UK, depending on daylight savings shenanigans. That would've been at 11am my time. Will have to check to see if another sync happens then today.
This week sync has been around 12 hours later than it normally has since they did the sync that added photos to portals
There was an ingress sync maybe a few hours ago. I had checked for a new portal last night, wasn't there but the new pokestop was. This morning the new portal showed up.
