And there was also technically a two gym split in DP (but not Pt) between your first visit to Hearthome and your battle with Fantina. A lot of trainers go Maylene before Crasher Wake, but some (like me and Pika in Diamond) battle Wake first. And each of their levels are ~30 (compared to Gardenia's 22 and Fantina's 36). (Of course, in Pt, it's always Fantina, then Maylene, then Wake. Their levels reflect that: Fantina 26, Maylene 30, Wake 36 iirc)
