I put your example in a .tex file, marked it and 'M-x indent-region RET'
looks like this for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Example:
cumulative sum of the point to point phase shifts, after these are
mapped into $-\pi < \Delta \phi_i \le \pi$, i.e.:
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:contiguation}
  \phi^{\mathrm{(c)}}_{\mathrm{i}} = \left\{
    \begin{array}[c]{lll}
      \phi^{\mathrm{(c)}}_{\mathrm{i-1}} +
      (\phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}}) & \mbox{if}
      & -\pi < \phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}} \leqslant \pi \\
      \phi^{\mathrm{(c)}}_{\mathrm{i-1}} +
      (\phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}}) - 2 \pi & \mbox{if}
      & \phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}} > \pi \\
      \phi^{\mathrm{(c)}}_{\mathrm{i-1}} +
      (\phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}}) + 2\pi & \mbox{if}
      & \phi_{\mathrm{i}}-\phi_{\mathrm{i-1}} \leqslant -\pi 
    \end{array}
  \right. .
\end{equation}
This has the property that there are qualitative changes to the
behaviour if aliasing occurs.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which looks correct.  Can you assemble an example starting with emacs -Q
exhibiting the issue?

Best, Arash
