Default Reason for nocking point to be high and not square?

I was shooting my bow this weekend and someone else was studying it and asked why my string loop was set up to put my arrow on high of what would give me a "square" setup with the rest.

I looked at it and he was right. when the drop-away is up and the arrow is resting on it, the arrow points downhill (when you look at the cable guide behind it).

So, would there have been a reason the shop would have set up the bow with this slightly out of perpendicular? (I'd have to measure, but I'm guessing it's like 1/8 or 1/4 inch).

This is a Bowtech Patriot Dually if that matters.

BTW....for those keep track, this bow has been shooting like a champ since I replaced the original factory string with a custom 452x one.
