Well it seems to be something to do with the timestamps by the "is
newer".  Maybe it is some 'feature' of the filesystem that is on the
destination drive, is it mounted with any unusual options?  But I don't
really understand how mv inside the same filesystem as when you
corrected the directory placement will mess with the timestamp.

Maybe try:

mv data/Baptism/DSC00681.JPG data
mv data/DSC00681.JPG data/Baptism

and then see if the rsync suddenly believes it needs copying again... at
least you prove it is some feature of the mv action that changes the
file state somehow.
