I wouldn't swear that this is the case, but I definitely noticed this trend in our match schedules. This was probably not an intentional design, but rather a side effect of the constraints on match spacing and opponent diversity. If a team was your partner in one match, then the way to ensure that you both get the same amount of downtime is to put you both together in the next match, but on opposite sides. This seems like a pretty good behavior... it should guarantee that no team gets to play with a whole bunch of good teams without having to face some of them, or vice versa.
