In my shul, the final qolos were 10 qolos before "LeDavid: Hashem Ori".

The 30 qolos before then were probably in the middle of qaddish rather
than at the end. My guess is, so that it's concluded before "tisqabel
tzelos-hana", as shofar blowing is inseprable from mussaf. OTOH, we don't
want the chazan to pause for the baal toqei'ah between chazaras hashas
and qaddish. Even though it's part of tefillah, for him personally it's
inaction. So, we stop between the iqar qaddish and the post-tefillah
add-on.

Personally, blowing qolos in the middle of the quiet Shemoneh Esrei makes
more sense to me.

GCT!
