It would mean "irregular" in this context, as in not occuring very often or in a set pattern.
I would more likely say "the odd uprising" to avoid the misunderstanding that the uprisings were strange. But it doesn't make sense to understand that the uprisings were strange, does it?

It means they occasionally may have an uprising, but it isn't something to be expected on a regular basis inferring that generally the governments are more or less stable.

Like unnamed causes or reasons, causes unknown, other unrisings, smaller uprising, uprising the writer heard about but did not study or witness.The idea is that uprising were not unusual. They were common place in such and such a time or place. Like that!
Good Luck!

Strange happenings, that's what odd uprisings means.
