Why my lightning node does RBF onchain of a tx that does not exists? (after a forced close channel with an expired HTLC)

I am using lightning core and I had a force close channel with an active HTLC, funds were sent from this address bc1qca5lwlfv8qzkchcfqdryfl89szuk2n0c3x2p7vt4gst04keygkns4x68hh to myself (bc1qf7nh8pwt30nxueqekrhapa3wyz98zxu58rfl8l and have been spent) and after the expired HTLC (3 days later) funds were sent to the same address of force close (bc1qca5lwlfv8qzkchcfqdryfl89szuk2n0c3x2p7vt4gst04keygkns4x68hh).

Since then funds are stuck and I see in logs that is doing a RBF onchain of txid that I can not find and keeps increasing the fee (just showing two examples on logs fees going from 2728 to 14841):

I would appreciate if someone can explain me why my node is doing this.

Thank you
