If you have included the ' item in the 'shada' option the jumplist will be

+ *jumplist-stack*
+When jumpoptions includes "stack", the jumplist behaves like the history in a
+web browser and like the tag stack. When jumping to a new location from the
+middle of the jumplist, the locations after the current position will be
+discarded.
+
+This behavior corresponds to the following situation in a web browser.
+Navigate to first.com, second.com, third.com, fourth.com and then fifth.com.
+Then navigate backwards twice so that third.com is displayed. At that point,
+the history is:
+- first.com
+- second.com
+- third.com <--
+- fourth.com
+- fifth.com
+
+Finally, navigate to a different webpage, new.com. The history is
+- first.com
+- second.com
+- third.com
+- new.com <--
+
+When the jumpoptions includes "stack", this is the behavior of Nvim as well.
+That is, given a jumplist like the following in which CTRL-O has been used to
+move back three times to location X
