It's because you don't pad enough spaces after %(refname:short) so the
starting point of %(upstream:short) on each line is already unaligned,
I think. Try this:

%<(*)%(refname:short)%>(30)%(upstream:short)

or if you prefer at specific column (e.g. align upstream close to the
60th column, regardless of refname's length):

%(refname:short)%>|(60)%(upstream:short)
