Generally it is some major change.  IE 15.x was the first SMP version.
Another reason is incompatibility, as 16.x converted to the Nalimov EGTB
files, and I didn't want a 15.x to use the older Edwards format, and 15.x+1 to
use the new format...

Another common reason is, for example, the WMCCC events.  I usually make
significant changes, change to the next major version, but I don't release
any of this until after the next WMCCC event...

So, in general, there probably isn't a "good" pattern to this. :)
