If void traces are small peices of the void or small packets of cross-time information, then they would only appear in areas where the void/timeline are unstable, frayed at the edges, if you will.

In the Orokin void proper, the void is in "proper repair." It does not have peices falling off of it. On the other hand, near void rifts, the void is "malfunctioning," fracturing into the common plane. As a result, one would imagine some traces of void stuff or timelost information might sneak through the cracks.

This is all conjecture, but that's how I would imagine it works.
