Why did I end up with the lowest Buchholz score by far despite having a median score?

It was a 6-round swiss tournament. I lost the first two matches, won the third, tied and lost the fourth and fifth (can't remember the order of those two), and won the sixth.
Mathematically, the only way I could have gotten that score was by playing the six worst-ranked players aside from myself. Did I just get lucky? Why did the four players below me have better opponents?
