Question about Outposts

I tried posting earlier in another post but got no help so maybe if my title is a question I might get someone who knows more than I do to look at the thread.  How can a rival faction take over one of my outposts?  I don't understand how that works.  They placed down a town near one of my outposts and a few turns later they converted my outpost to theirs.  Does anyone know if that is by design?

That is intended though fairly rare. Tile Influence goes something like City>outpost>monster den. There is some sort of distance calculation as well but cant pin down exactly how that works myself. A city sufficiently close to an outpost to convert the outpost tile will flip it.
