If you look at that line more closely, I think you will find that at some stage a parent had two partners/spouses, and one line descends from a child from one marriage, and the other child from the second marriage.
I have a half-great-uncle, Jack. His father is my great-grandfather (Eddy), his mother is no (blood) relation to me. My great-grandmother had a relationship with Eddy before he married, producing my grandfather. Jack's children are my half-first-cousins, once removed. If this is not the case in your Legacy file, try running the Check/Repair to see if that fixes things up for you.
