/var/log/httpd/access_log*    
/var/log/httpd/error_log*

Your wildcards are incorrect and catching literally everything in that directory, including the previously rotated files. The way you've defined it, logrotate is seeing the previously rotated files and treating them as new log files to start new rotations on, rather than old rotations of a previously-rotated log file. You need to tighten up your wildcards to something like this:

/var/log/httpd/*log
