Comment (by Mte90):

 I have the same problem, on the latest 5.3.2 with wordpress under
 cloudflare  with this in the wp-config.php, cron executed by the system
 cron using `php wp-cron.php` every 5 minutes on sunday the posts scheduled
 on that day are not published.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
 }}}

 Debugging the file the script is executed rightly and I don't see any
 errors but in the dashboard they are marked as missed scheduled. I see
 that during the week the posts scheduled are published with no errors but
 just on sunday where the backend is not used there are those issues.
 As configured in this way I think that they should be published aldo
 without accessing the backend because now the cron is server side.

 I was thinking to do a script that login on sunday every 5 minutes with a
 specific user on the backend just to get the posts pubished.
