Jenkins build link in Github PR points to stale build

We have integrated our jenkins pipeline with github using GitHub plugin.

At times, build details link in Status section in github shows some stale build.

Current link I get in github is similar to

https://<pipeline_name>/job/<application>/job/PR-1/1/display/redirect

Example:

Latest build in PR-1 is 5, expected link is 

https://<pipeline_name>/job/<application>/job/PR-1/5/display/redirect**

But we get the following link

https://<pipeline_name>/job/<application>/job/PR-1/3/display/redirect

And status of build is shown as 'Failed' in Github UI. This is happening for some of the builds.

Also, how can I test what status data is sent from Jenkins to github from my jenkins instance?
