This can happen if there is no clock information being published and rviz has no reference for what is the latest. It is debatable whether it actually needs the clock since it could just refer to message timestamps, but at any rate this is how it currently works (I'd be curious if someone has an answer to this).
You can check that time is moving in rviz in the bottom left corner. If you are having this problem running rosbag, make sure you are using --clock with the command. If you are warping through a bag, you have to publish the clock yourself. If it's a robot, then perhaps your robot is having problems publishing time.

If you're not bagging, then it might be a difference in time on the two computers causing problems. Use chrony to sync them.
