I think something is up with Rascal's mining proxy. Not accusing him of anything, its probably just a bug. Maybe someone more technically minded on coinbase/stratum and other tech can chime in.

Every so often I mine a block worth 45.3333333 here is an example. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/tx.dws?e5a7eb4eae84dd53d78e27f880a40a93b09b41206b4740b2fe9a67207662fc8e.htm

This is the actual block link.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Around superblocks the reward is diminished a bit, and the coins instead go to whoever finds the superblock (which has a higher difficulty). The idea being that this does not change the number of RIC that will be generated, while allowing (and giving an incentive) to find higher prime constellations.

In case of block 410814, the corresponding superblock is 410832, which ranked #2 in the hall of fame: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/halloffame.dws
