I tried inspecting few other sites (using the keyword 560A517) that are eligible to show structured data. I could find instances in which the images displayed were different from the structured data images.

Probably Google is picking the best image from a product page based on several other signals in addition to the structured data image.

I believe the reason could be one of the following.

  1. The image may have fallen short of guidelines like those for quality, relevance, originality, etc. For example, if many sites use the same or similar images for a popular product, I don't think Google will flood all the image results with the identical product pictures despite structured data.

  1. The image may have fallen short of one of the data-type specific guidelines as outlined in https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/product#product (check for "image" under "Required Properties").
