Changing arbitrage-min-gas-fee makes tx to never be included

Hello!

I've been playing around with osmosis to create a 3-hop arbitrage bot. I know that since the inclusion of protorev module, most of those opportunities are captured in benefit of stakers and community. Anyhow, there are still opportunities for external actors since there are paths not included in the protorev module.

In app.toml arbitrage-min-gas-fee defaults to 0.1 This makes sense to avoid spamming the chain. However, on my node, I've changed that to 0.01, which is still four times higher than the default min-gas-price-for-high-gas-tx value.

I can broadcast arbi transactions to my node, but somehow those txs are never included in any block. So the point to open this discussion is to understand what is going on. Not sure how the mempool works in osmosis, but I guess validators are somehow not including those txs, and I don't understand why.

Is it because validators arbitrage-min-gas-fee is higher than in my node?
