Here is the original locked transaction 38eVWPirWs7j54Y8FtuHY9RZ3aXnMaEijY

That isn't a transaction-ID it is an address.
That address is associated with only one transaction so far. The transaction ID is 005e5d28385e8f0a269207f319050d779f1324f0a1466c7ac4a276ba619daded
That transaction has a locktime of 0 according to a blockchain explorer
blockchair.com shows this transactions "raw TX" data in JSON as

                "reqSigs": 1
            }
        }
    ]
}

Note that
    "locktime": 0,

AFAIK locktime determines the earliest a transaction can be included in a block, it doesn't guarantee the transaction gets included in a block at the specified time or at the specified height.
