For the records, quoting @nickpeihl answer to this question in our #maps channel in the Elastic Community Slack:

Kibana uses an extended_stats aggregation on the right-side join field to decide how to interpolate the colors of your choropleth map. When Apply global time to style metadata requests is enabled, the extended_stats aggregation is built only on the range of data within the time picker. In your screenshot this is Last 20 years .

When disabled, the aggregation is not filtered by time.
