It's probably because I'm very new to JNATS and trying to feel each natural out, but was just curious.

If time is of the essence, consider this.
Essentially you're starting on aggressive ,deep cutting stones then jumping to the other extreme with the Jnats.
A big time saver would be to slot in a 12k HNK after the 5k. You will have refined the edge to about as sharp as it gets, albeit a little harsh. Most if not all your Nagura now become redundant, saving you several steps as that 12 k edge can be finished on your base stone with a few strokes.
