This is the definition of a lucky case (according to speedcubing.com) : ---
A lucky record is any solve of a puzzle where a step of your normal solution is skipped. There are three exceptions: 1) You worked for it, f.i. by anticipating the next step. 2) The chance to skip the step is 20 percent or more. 3) The skipped step represents 3 percent or less of the total moves of the complete solution. Example: if you use the cross/F2L/OLL/PLL system, then there are 7 steps, and skipping one of the steps would be a lucky case. For blindfold solving a lucky case is defined by: 1) more than 5 corners are correctly oriented, or 2) more than 8 edges are correctly oriented, or 3) more than 3 corners are correctly positioned, or 4) more than 4 edges are correctly positioned. --- So if you do that center cycling intentionally, I would say you are in the first exception "You worked for it" = Non-Lucky, even though it's contrary to the definition of a lucky case definition for a blindfold solve. But that's just my opinion. And talking about lucky cases is just silly by the way. I mean you can always win a lottery, but what if you can find a way to win all the times ? I'll try not to talk anymore about lucky cases.
