If you don't issue any "delete obsolete;" command, the retention
policy in your configuration is useless. And if you don't issue any
"delete backupset" (et al) or "delete obsolete specific_policy]"
command, the "list backup;" should list all backups in the control
file.

Since control_file_record_keep_time is set to 21, the result is
strange. Was the control file recreated recently? Is the database
refreshed regularly (thanks to a duplication for instance)?
