Looking at the partman logs:
Before state:
parted_server: OUT: 1 1048576-2047868927 2046820352 primary unknown
/dev/sda1
parted_server: OUT: 5 2048917504-12548308991 10499391488 logical ext4
/dev/sda5
parted_server: OUT: 6 12549357568-12748587007 199229440 logical ext4
/dev/sda6
parted_server: OUT: 7 12749635584-52748615679 39998980096 logical ext4
/dev/sda7
parted_server: OUT: -1 52748615680-160041885695 107293270016 pri/log
free /dev/sda-1
The last bit shows that there was ~ 10GB of empty disk space available.
Resize_use_free auto partition mode was available:
/lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices: Found resizable
partition '/var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda//12749635584-52748615679'
(/dev/sda7) with 10968731648 bytes free
The end result became:
parted_server: OUT: 1 1048576-2047868927 2046820352 primary unknown
/dev/sda1
parted_server: OUT: 5 2048917504-12548308991 10499391488 logical ext4

parted_server: OUT: 6 12549357568-12748587007 199229440 logical ext4

So indeed biggest free space was used, which is expected behaviour.
