Mechanically, the fewer the indents, the smoother the reel, because that reduces motion of the plunger and friction as it jumps in and out of the indentations. The sensory ergonomics of this are kind of interesting. Four clicks over 360 degrees in the case of your reel. Instead, you are hearing the engagement plunger on the spool ride in and out of the indents on the visible side. The disc is now stationery relative to the frame. Winding, the frame-mounted plunger is silent, since it has locked the brake disc so it can't rotate against the brake shoe. The disc is stationery relative to the spool, and its plunger is silent. This for the frame-facing side of the disc, which is rotating over the frame-mounted plunger, thereby producing the click. Outgoing, the drag plate is engaged by the spool-mounted plunger/pin, so rotated in that direction, the number of clicks equals the number of ramps (or indents) in which the frame plunger engages. They are easy enough to count by listening to the clicks through 360 degrees of rotation.
