When my playlist with 200+ songs stops shuffling through the same 20 and plays a song I haven't heard in 5 years

I've heard Amazon music will only shuffle through blocks of 500 songs at a time. So for my 700 song playlist, if I start with the first song on the list and hit Random, it will only shuffle the first 500 songs. But if I choose a song above number 200, it will be able to shuffle through all 700 songs supposedly.
I haven't tried this out myself, but it would explain why I never hear the newest songs on my playlist when I shuffle.
