Django + GeoDjango and Postrgresql (postGis extension): Wrong distance returned from the database

So we're having a seemingly straight forward problem with Django, GeoDjango and Postgis. There's a lot of mention online that you need to include the SRID both on the point you're trying to query and on the database field.

The problem is we do have the SRID on the database field and yet the distance returned is incorrect. Normally I wouldn't care so much and just do the calculation in python for the returned rows, but in this case we need to filter on distance and without it being accurate I'm not comfortable moving forward.

Model:

class LocationStore(BaseLocation, LocationStoreFunctions):
    street = models.CharField(max_length=64)
    extras = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True)
    town = models.CharField(max_length=64)
    zip_postal = models.CharField(max_length=32)
    region = models.ForeignKey(Region)
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country)
    coordinates = PointField(srid=4326, db_index=True)
    timezone = TimeZoneField(default='US/Eastern', blank=True)
    phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=32)
    is_closed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    features = MultiSelectField(choices=LOCATION_FEATURE_CHOICES, default=[])

Query Set:

locations = LocationStore.objects.filter(coordinates__distance_lte=(self.client_point, D(m=distance))).annotate(distance=Distance('coordinates', self.client_point, sphereoid=True)).order_by('distance')

Resulting Query:

SELECT "retailers_baselocation"."id", "retailers_baselocation"."polymorphic_ctype_id", "retailers_baselocation"."retailer_id", "retailers_baselocation"."identifier", "retailers_baselocation"."name", "retailers_baselocation"."date_created", "retailers_baselocation"."date_updated", "retailers_baselocation"."rating", "retailers_locationstore"."baselocation_ptr_id", "retailers_locationstore"."street", "retailers_locationstore"."extras", "retailers_locationstore"."town", "retailers_locationstore"."zip_postal", "retailers_locationstore"."region_id", "retailers_locationstore"."country_id", "retailers_locationstore"."coordinates", "retailers_locationstore"."timezone", "retailers_locationstore"."phone_number", "retailers_locationstore"."is_closed", "retailers_locationstore"."features", ST_DistanceSphere("retailers_locationstore"."coordinates", ST_GeomFromEWKB('\001\001\000\000 \346\020\000\000s\242]\205\224\037F@\353\016s\223\342!S\300'::bytea)) AS "distance" FROM "retailers_locationstore" INNER JOIN "retailers_baselocation" ON ("retailers_locationstore"."baselocation_ptr_id" = "retailers_baselocation"."id") WHERE ST_DistanceSphere("retailers_locationstore"."coordinates", ST_GeomFromEWKB('\001\001\000\000 \346\020\000\000s\242]\205\224\037F@\353\016s\223\342!S\300'::bytea)) <= 10000.0 ORDER BY "distance" ASC;

Resulting Results:

Debug information:
 Client test point: SRID:4326 44.24672 -76.5294541
 Returned location's coordinates, as defined in the database: SRID: 4326 44.259938 -76.570126
 Every online calculator I can think of returns this distance as 3.561131 km
 The database however returns this distance as 1.66328 km (I'm assuming these are KM units)

Any help would be appreciated :)
