You've misinterpreted history-search-backward.  Doc says:
     Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the first
     word in the buffer.

So history-search-backward is looking for any line beginning with
"sudo", the "n" is ignored.

You want

history-beginning-search-backward
     Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the
     current line up to the cursor.
