I don't think that the number proximity between the vault numbers 
actually correspoind to the same type of vault. Nothing in canon 
indicates that Sirius' vault is a high-security one, and it really 
shouldn't be necesary -as far as we know, he is not guarding something 
vitally important inside.

Also, about the only thing that can be deduced about the goblins, apart 
that they're short and have a bank, is what can be observed in FB about 
their acts during the MoM reunions to decide between beings and beasts. 
In those times, goblins took delight in interrupting the procedures as 
much as possible, fomenting chaos and generally disrupting any tries to 
bring the place to order (I especially liked their idea of teaching 
phrases to the trolls so that they could qualify as beings instead of 
beasts).

A race that takes such delight in tormenting other beings wouldn't act 
rationally, which means that any person trying to find any sort of 
logic in the placement of vaults in Gringotts Bank probably would end 
up mad, or at least *very* confused. As I said earlier, a very good way 
to protect a vault is by making sure that even *finding* it is very 
difficult. And, since the carts already know where they have to go, 
there is no confussion for those people legally visiting the bank.

Hope that helps,
