RCS - Specific gear feels "gritty"

Just had a new rear wheel assembly sent to my by Juiced to replace the original that had developed an issue.

After installation (which took care of the free hub / bearing issues the other one had) I noticed that 3rd gear has a kind of gritty feel to it - like it is slightly out of adjustment with the chain - but the other gears are OK (with the exception of 5th, which has a very slight version of what 3rd gear has). Shifts are smooth and go up and down without issue. The other gears are very smooth and quiet.

Could this be derailleur adjustment or with it being that specific gear is it an issue with the cassette (or cog on the cassette)?
 
maybe give it a good decreasing\cleaning and re-lube. Might be some factory lubrication on there that isnt' even? or during assembly it got a bit dirty?
