mne.preprocessing_current_source_density gives wrong CSD estimates #7862

Description

Describe the bug

Attempt to compute CSD on evoked object called "monopolar_av_ref.fif" (see attached). The evoked object contains grand-averaged EEG waveforms (64 EEG channels (averaged reference), 'biosemi64' montage + 1 EOG channel).

Steps to reproduce

GA_comp_corr_stim = mne.read_evokeds('monopolar_av_ref.fif')
GA_comp_corr_stim_CSD = mne.preprocessing.compute_current_source_density(GA_comp_corr_stim)#should be similar to the attached CSD.fif file

plots obtained:
times = np.arange(.3, 1.,.05)
fig1 = GA_comp_corr_stim.plot_topomap(times = times ,ch_type = 'eeg', cmap = 'viridis', nrows = 2, average = .03, time_unit='s')
fig3 = GA_comp_corr_stim_CSD.plot_topomap(times = times ,ch_type = 'csd', cmap = 'viridis', nrows = 2, average = .03, time_unit='s')

Actual results

plots "topo_CSD.png" and "topo_monopolar.png" in the attached. It is clear that CSD estimates are wrong, since the spatial selectivity appears lower than the spatial selectivity of the monopolar data, and differ from those obtained with a python implemenbtation of Mike Cohen's matlab code ('topo_CSD_Cohen.png')
Maybe it's a problem with the sphere= auto argument that returns:
Fitted sphere radius: 95.0 mm
Origin head coordinates: 0.0 -0.0 40.1 mm
Origin device coordinates: 0.0 -0.0 40.1 mm
