I actually intended to describe the frisbee coming out of the shooter not level with the base. The curve is a direct result of an un-level frisbee.
I thought about it further and think it may be a function of the stored energy in the pneumatic wheel compression. The compression coupled with the wheel deforming to "cup" the frisbee gives a reaction where the frisbee comes out non-level with the launch base.
