This means that you haven't set the cover in calibre. Calibre is using the cover it assumed when you loaded the book, which can be the first page of the PDF or sometimes no cover, in which case a generic cover is used. To fix it, in calibre, select one misbehaving PDF and use the Edit Metadata command. The cover you see there is the cover that calibre will use. If it isn't the one you want, change it.
