A word space should precede and follow any ellipsis which appears between two words in the middle of a sentence, according for example to the typographer Robert Bringhurst (The Elements of Typographic Style). In LyX, typing

word space then option-period then word space

produces unbalanced spacing, with more space on the right side. Typing

word space then option-period

produces less unbalanced spacing, but now with less space on the right side.

How do I get an ellipsis with the proper spacing fore and aft?

write into the preamble of the document

\let\ldotsOld\ldots
\renewcommand\ldots{\ldotsOld\unkern}
