All the data centers are at rest wrt each other, and wrt to the events they observe (Earth rotation may be an issue, but not at the ms resolution they work with). Differences in the gravity field are miniscule, but even if they were significant, they would only change the time scale, not the order of events; and scale can be corrected by scaling the measured time to correct for this effect.
