You might want to check your application connection pooling. A connection pool might rollback a pre-established connection before returning it to the pool, regardless of whether something is being rolled back or not. If your application is constantly requesting and releasing connections from the pool the number of rollbacks would grow significantly. Especially if many of the connections are only performing queries and have not performing any transactions the percentage of rollbacks to transactions would be extremely high. In this case, since you do not actually have anything to rollback you are probably fine.
