Your upstream doesn't control this (unless the extra hops are in their
own network).  Normally your ISP will have at least 2 connections to
the Internet (transit providers).  Sounds like the the 15 hop route is
done by one of their transit providers and the 27 hop route is done by
the second.

They are using a different transit provider.  Doesn't sound like a NN
violation to me.
