Yes that sounds correct. I have Round Robin selected, Less than 1 for Priority Group Activation. I have one member with Priority Group 1 and the other member in Priority Group 0

 

Traffic only goes to Higher Priority member(s) and if in this case you loose the P1 member, traffic should go via the next lowest P group member assuming its Monitor marks it as up.

 

Why dont you take a TCPDUMP to verify if traffic is actually going to both or just 1 pool member.
