eth_getLogs returns empty result on Reth while Geth returns expected logs for same queries

[AntonieDavid]

Describe the bug

When querying eth_getLogs for a set of known log-producing addresses and block ranges (e.g., 30200000-30201000 on Base Mainnet), Geth consistently returns the expected events, while Reth returns an empty list.

results from local testing (on the node):

geth

 Blocks 30200100-30200199: 119 events
