The numbers are only speculation, no one knows for sure how exactly fatigue is calculated. However the reason your swords are dropping to orange even though you get A/S rank is because every time you enter a map it's -10, regardless of whether you enter a map with only 2 battle nodes or 7 battle nodes. So when grinding on lower level maps it's much easier to get fatigued due to less amount of nodes.

In my experience, the best way to maintain constant sakura fubuki for all your team members, is to enter a map where you can engage in at least 5 battles if not more (map 4 and onwards), and balance your team member stats using troops and horses so that no particular sword is constantly stealing MVP *coughHotarumarucough*. This way all of your swords will have a chance at MVP and it's much easier to maintain sakura. As soon as any sword loses sakura, switch them to the captain for the next sortie. This way, you can pretty much maintain constant sakura (which is what I do).
