Yeah, sounds weird, doesn't it? I think it mostly has to do with the middle evolution, though. The first stage - Trapinch - can be compared to a kind of... a larva, yeah. That makes sense if you think in the context of the first two stages - you wouldn't be surprised if you just had Trapinch and Vibrava, yes? It's like the Caterpie line, really, just that the cocoon stage doesn't take nearly as long. And, well, going from that, it's much easier to see Vibrava evolving into Flygon, yes? They're not that far apart, strictly speaking. Flygon is just a more... complete, polished version, biologically speaking.
