Playing a second place team that was 10-4 is different than playing a second place team that is 7-9. If your playing the toughest AFC divsion vs. Easier, it's a difference and all is not equal.
I do agree it works out the way you laid it out.
The NFL doesn't want there to be a situation where teams don't play each other for years and years. So a team can go no longer than 3 years before they play any other team. They only have 10 games to work with so its tough to get both that coverage and balance in together.
