I read a thread a while ago on TTR that talked about this. I can't say for 100%, but I'm pretty sure that it was Fleetgaurd filters had an update. Apparently the O-ring that was on the inside port that seperates unfiltered from filtered oil was too hard or too thick, and would sometimes cut and of course ended up in the filtered side.
I also plugged one of be posters piston cooling jets and cost him a motor.

So would it be a good idea to periodically remove and clean the piston cooling jets to prevent this?

This.

I read the same thread before I stopped visiting TTR when they kicked Rawze off for exposing their sponsors and their substandard tuning.

The problem was that the internal O-ring in the oil filter was cutting/breaking upon installation and the broken pieces were heading straight to the oil rifle that feeds the piston cooling jets, subsequently clogging them. Fleetguard DID update the filter at around this time.
