Contra jumps register at ppp

I getting used to the contrabass I recently took up. I discovered that one source of my squeaking was a leak that I fixed by adjusting a screw.

My question is this: When I play my bass, I can get as soft as I like with no problem. With the contra, at least on some notes, when I get down to a certain softness, it jumps up to the corresponding note in the higher register. What can I do to correct this? Could it be because there is still a bit of a leak? Do I need a harder or softer reed?
