I can't speak for the earlier models (I have no reason to believe they would be any different) but the shifter in my '17 is spring loaded so that if you move the lever to the neutral position between 1st and 2nd or 5th and 6th and then let go of the lever, it will center itself automatically to the neutral position between 3rd and 4th. This can be handy if you really blow a shift badly and lose track of which position in the gate the lever is in. It gets you back to a known location without having to look at the shift lever or the gear indicator in the multi-function display. You could of course release the clutch and see if the engine over-revs, lugs, or ended up where you intended but why risk the potential embarrassment of not looking cool with a clutch. Anyway, the downside to this is that it does create a little more side to side resistance when leaving the 3rd-4th gear area of the gate. Maybe this is what you're noticing?
