Yes, the timestamps do go backwards in this scenario.  It's up to the player to either drop frames at the end of the
previous fragment, or decode and then not display the overlapping frames at the start of the fragment.  In a streaming
scenario, you likely have already displayed the end of the previous fragment, so would have to do the latter.
