Version settings issue - It reverts back to a particular settings

Question

SP 2010: Library Version Settings:

I changed version settings to - Create major and minor (draft) versions from Keep the following number of major versions: checked (6) Keep drafts for the following number of major versions: (5)

To

Keep the following number of major versions: unchecked and no numbers in the box Keep drafts for the following number of major versions: (5)

After few hours my changes are reverted back to original settings. Any idea how to fix this issue? I am suspecting the libraries were created using a stp of existing library and version settings are hard coded and reverting back. May be I am wrong.

Either case how do I fix the issue?

Answer 1

I got the XML from the SP Designer. The first is original settings and 2nd is what I changed so there are no limit for Major version (unlimited). (The original post is not editable so I am adding)
