I've seen this happen several times. I'm city level 30, so I've participated in quite a few Contested Territories now. This is what happens: if you start playing for an unclaimed territory (need to pass round 16, e.g.) before other people do, and you meet the minimal requirements for capturing the territory, it will say that you captured it by beating x rounds. However, if someone beat the same number of rounds before you did, even if he/she started after you, then he will take control of the territory. I'm not sure if this is a glitch per se, but it can be confusing. Hope this helps.
