Quiet floors in deeper Dungeon?

Is there typically a quiet floor with low population somewhere between D12-D14?

I just did a D14 in v19 and it was eerily quiet. It looks like the level has probably all been cleared, from the space covered. What few monsters I can recall meeting:

One cyclops
One hound
One troll
One red centaur
Skeleton centaur
A crimson imp or two
One needle trap
One teleport trap

I picked up:
1 artifact flail
2 potions of lignification
At least 1-2 yet unknown scrolls (NOT acquirement haha)
1-2 yet unknown potions (NOT heal wounds, cure mutation, haste for example - one ambrosia)

By contrast, D13 was super packed with two herds of yaks, multiple shadows, skeletal warriors, a gang of centaurs, 2 hill giants and at least one cyclops. Possibly also some fortress I avoided for now, not sure if it was there or D12.

Is this normal, to have a kind of dead floor tossed in among the low ones? I think I've seen it happen before, but it was really dramatic this time.

I'm suspecting the Vaults entrance is on D13 inside that fortress layout, if that explains any of it. It has a blue orc warrior I can't quite hack yet so not quite confirming that now.

Edit: Yes, Vaults entrance was on that floor.
