Easily explained.

Earth is a local stop; Oumuamua is long-distance (LD) express
(like Amtrak). Probably had a stop not too far back and is
now accelerating to it's next station.

And, unlike Rama, Oumuamua's spin (tumbling) period seems to be a
lot longer than 4 minutes.

That's how you know it's an LD express.
