Exactly. Some schools are very stringent about their medians (UVA for example), but a school like Richmond does not start out with set median goals. The percentiles are a reflection of each year’s applicants, whereas at UVA (for example), the medians are the same every year and the admissions team’s goal is to meet them. For Richmond, the difference between 40th/60th percentile GPA is probably not enough of a deciding factor on its own without LSAT/softs considered. If you were 60th in one and 40th in another, then you would most likely be admitted. 40th at both is a little trickier, but with a good personal statement, you have a chance.
