Question about asymmetric routing

I have two Windows 2016 servers across a WAN. just for a visualization of the problem the tracert -d (combined) looks like a figure 8 from both servers.

The first server 10.0.40.40 goes to 10.0.30.1 then to the mpls then to 10.10.30.21 then to 10.10.40.40

The reverse 10.10.40.40 goes to 10.10.30.1 to mpl then to 10.0.30.21 to 10.0.40.40.

I drew this out is visio to visualize it and it looks like a figure 8. My question is the above setup going to cause a asymmetric route? I am not able to touch the networking equipment because I am not on the networking team. If I ping, tracert, and RDP over 3389 everything seems to be working fine.

I am told by the networking team that it is "wide" open but we have a tool that is not working. It is a tracert style network mapping tool that builds a view.

If I can answer any additional questions please let me know.
