Do I have this math/ understanding right?

You did make me curious as I live in the midwest, lots of stock trailers and all the gooseneck stock trailers I have noticed all have their wheels very near the end of the trailer, unlike an RV. So I did some online looking and almost without exception the gooseneck stock trailers of any length had their wheels near the end of the trailer.

The reason I mentioned this in the first place was because you stated:

"Its surprising how little weight is taken off the hitch when 4k-6k lbs of bulls are placed back there."

This whole thread was about the hitch/tongue weight removed/changed when loading up the toyhauler. So, when you look at a gooseneck stock trailer wheel configuration compared to a normal 5th wheel toyhauler, it really isn't surprising that very little weight changes, but you can't really compare the two since they are so different vis a vis, the amount of trailer past the rear wheels. Put 4k-6k lbs. of bull at the rear of a normal toyhauler and the hitch weight would change considerably. Which is probably why gooseneck stock trailers are designed the way they are.

You might be confusing stock and horse trailers also.
Typicality horse trailers have dividers to help support the horses while traveling, they also have an area in the front for storing tack.

This is a picture of my DD's four horse slant with small living quarters. The pin on this empty was about 2,700#, the axles are about centered under the center of the area the four horses would ride.
