Hi Perkmeup,
I once received a comment from an IS reviewer that may shed some light for you. From what I gather, after Getty acquired IS, IS inherited Getty's structured keywords system. The comment I received was that, having acquired this system they feel fewer extremely relevant keywords are preferred, as the system itself is designed guide buyers towards finding the right keywords to fit what they are looking for.
This may explain why keywords attached to similar images that have been in IS for a while are being rejected as irrelevant. I feel your pain, I've been hounded by the irrelevant keyword rejection a bit myself.
Hope this is helpful,
-Brett
