That's because log_rotation_age expects the setting value in minutes.

This is not a problem only for log_rotation_age. When setting the parameter
which expects the value in seconds to less than one second, the setting value
is implicitly reset to the default. For example,

postgres=# SHOW tcp_keepalives_idle ;
 tcp_keepalives_idle
---------------------
 7200
(1 row)

postgres=# SET tcp_keepalives_idle TO '10ms';
SET
postgres=# SHOW tcp_keepalives_idle ;
 tcp_keepalives_idle
---------------------
 7200
(1 row)

postgres=# SET tcp_keepalives_idle TO '1024ms';
SET
postgres=# SHOW tcp_keepalives_idle ;
 tcp_keepalives_idle
---------------------
 1
(1 row)
