The preference is generally for a constant descent angle approach without intermediate level offs and no driving along at the minima. Possibly the spot height at the right of the red circle necessitates having the MAP further back then normal which would require a low level segment to reach the runway.

This would require a careful briefing of the relatively non standard approach procedure. In this case I believe it would be safer to have a CDA approach to the threshold and accept the higher minima that this would entail.
