I've already had this experience. I'm not sure any users have enough knowledge about the algorithms used to compute the list.
However, I think it may be based on recent relative activity on both parts of the equation. I came to the conclusion that if you had a small number of connections, it had a more focused algorithm to work with. As your connections grow and their activity is weighted into yours, the matching might appear off.
For me, it is not a critical feature. If I want to find someone I use a Google search site:linkedin.com (variables) then I look to see how connected I am to that person.
Hope this helps set your mind at rest
