Interesting Navigation Concept

I did an accessibility audit on one of the web sites we developed
recently and came across an odd navigation idea.

If you click through the different sections you will see that the
current sub section will always become the uppermost one.
At first I was confused, but then I started to really like the idea,
especially when using keyboard for navigation.

To me it was the first time that a navigation was visually more
confusing than with assistive technology.
What do you think?
