Measurement #74488034 says on <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/74488034>: "Min Offset: -1 173,799". Since offsets can be positive or negative, I suggest it is not a good idea to take the minimum without first removing the sign. Here, the real minimum offset was -0.000345 (the closest from the server) and the maximum -1.173799 (the farthest from the server).
min( abs( value_1 ) , abs( value_2 ) ) would be the minimum difference, not the minimum offset. Both minimum difference and minimum offset can be useful, but they're not the same thing. -- Povl Ole
