Yes, I don't understand why it behaves like this. I thought that it would
be put in the middle.

It's explained in details.pdf. In brief, for margin floats:
criterium=<width>: says that when the figure width is greater than
<width>, the figure is put in the text area. When the figure width is less
than <width>, it is put in the default specified margin (here:
outermargin).
default=<setting>: default setting for that kind of float, including the
chosen placement area (outermargin), until the criterium is reached.
maxwidth=<width>: gives the alignment delimiter in the margin, so that the
figure will not go outside the specified width in the margin, but it will
grow in the text area instead.
minwidth=<width>: ensures that the figure can take at least this width, so
that if the figure width is smaller (and location=middle) it will be
centered in this area.
I hope there's no missunderstanding in these explainations (others can
tell). Anyway, it cannot be better than the details doc that shows how it
looks.
