Swiss Pairs

I played in one of the new Swiss Pairs events today. It was a lot of fun. After the first round, we were at table 1 throughout.

 

But, in rounds 5 and 6, we were matched again with our round 1 opponents, a very fine pair who ended up winning the event quite easily. We ended up fifth out of 10 pairs.

 

My question is this: in a "Swiss," isn't the idea that you always are paired with the best team/pair that you haven't yet played?
