Outlook rules not syncing across devices, am I missing something obvious ?
Here is the thing :
The rules that you created via Outlook Desktop ( Rules & Alerts ) are client-side by default,especially if they involve local folders, this is why they work fine on your desktop, but don't show or function in OWA or mobile apps.
You can create or re-create rules directly in OWA (Outlook Web App).- Go to Settings then Mail then Rules and create your rules there.
This are guaranteed to be server-side , and will sync across all clients.

Thank you this helped.
