Why we use risk free rate when creating position with futures (synthetic), but when adjusting durations (also with futures) ,we do not use RF rate.
 
The main difference here is that you have cash and you are synthetically investing in -say 3 month futures contracts. So your cash is till going to earn rfr. The non synthetic futures already have equity/bond position.
Hope that helps.
