The runlevel command shows both the previous and the current runlevels. I
suspect that when your system boots it passes through runlevel 3 before
going to runlevel 5.

The different runlevels should have nothing to do with each other. You can
have services loaded in a lower runlevel that aren't loaded in higher
ones... after all runlevel 6 is a shutdown.
Is the previous run level defined as the runlevel at last boot or the last
runlevel that was used that is different than the current run level?
Does runlevel ever display "5 5"?
