You're only 5% off!  That's not bad for a buckling result.  You might get closer if you create a cylindrical coordinate system at the center of the cylinder and support the base with a Displacement in rotated Y (theta) and Z (axial) directions.  The image in the paper looks like ROTY is also constrained.
