If can't find lat lon, it returns successful with an empty subset file. Why does it return empty?

Collection SMAP_RSS_L2_SSS_V5.3 in OPS

What is wrong with the lat lon for this collection? And why is the file returned empty? It should be within the bounding box.

Returning an empty file was a design choice suggested by podaac user group. Was this discussed further re: https://bugs.earthdata.nasa.gov/browse/TRT-36 ??

Yeah we should return empty in most situations. @sliu008 please investigate why it's failing because of the lat and lon. Also, we pass in the granule that should be within that bbox too, so we need to figure out why this is returning empty. Maybe it shouldn't fail but we need to understand what's going on here.
