How to keep rules in Mail working when also using iOS

The mail rules in Mail on my Mac have stopped working consistently – apparently because my email is being checked by my iPhone or iPad continuesly, and my Mac isn't always the first to get to it.

Is there a way to make a hierarchy, or to make sure that rules are being applied to all mails?

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Am I doing something wrong in Mail Rules? Trying to create Rules in Mail and have them used on my other devices: 2015 MacBook Air, OS High Sierra v.10.13.5 (17F77), Mid 2010 iMac 27", OS High Sierra v.10.13.5 (17F77), iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 8, iOS 11.4 and in iCloud Mail. The Rules are not being shared between the devices. Besides creating the Rules on MBA and all others signed into iCloud, what am I missing? (iCloud, Options, Mail is checked.)

How can I make apple mail rules work on all my devices? If I make a rule for Apple Mail, it only works on that device. Is there any way to make a rule on my MacBook so that the same rule is followed on my mac mini, iPhone and iPad? (In the past, the only way I've found to sync the rules are to make a rule on iCloud.com on the browser, but it's really fiddly, and the rules can only be very basic.
