That's typical to have highest N1 at the "break point"; Below that OAT, the air is more dense, and the fan turns slower to produce the same physical thrust. As mustafagander points out, this helps control the assymetric yaw for OEI conditions.

Above the break point, N1 is rolled back along a line of approximately constant EGT for hot section protection.
