1) detonation is not the issue. The thetaPP is not significantly--if at all--advanced during detonation. The peaks are occurring primarily after the peak.
2) A slight advance of the timing will result in a more rapid increase in the pressure as the piston is still going up. This speeds up the flame front.

I would be interested to know if there is any theoretical
explanation for why a 2 degree timing change might cause a 10 degree
theta-pp change. That would suggest that flame-front moves faster btdc

changes on theta-pp is amplified in a similar way.
Detonation. As detonation starts, the pressure should arrive earlier.
That's a hypothesis anyway. Don't know what was measured or whether the
measurements made would distinguish detonation from surprisingly fast
flame front.
