Self-orphaning

Something odd just happened. My node staked a block at height 46:

Another node also staked a block at height 46:

Obviously one of these had to be orphaned. My node staked the block at height 47:

The new block strangely orphans my block from height 46 instead of the other one. It seems like the node would prefer its own blocks over another one. Is this kind of "unselfish staking" done on purpose? I might hack my own node to try to keep it from doing this again.
