If your return flow pipe is below the surface of the water it can siphon until siphon breaks. Also the pipes hold more water than you want them to during an outage lol. Drilling a few holes just at water's level in your pipe can solve the siphon issue (I still need to do this!) but you def need to account for the pipe's volume.
