No. It's consistent. You can see the ship composition on a planet only when you also have a fleet on the planet.
I can sometimes see Oldry's fleets when you/Vellos has a ship nearby (the one that had a lot of Cruisers on, I forget the name), but then sometimes I can't even when you have someone nearby/on the planet.
What browser are you using? Could just be a draw order issue for the browser messing things up.
