dura ace hydraulic caliper with tight spot

my front hydraulic brake caliper has a sticky spot when applying causing front brake to grab. when I apply front brake at about 1/3 of application the lever hits a tight spot then breaks through the tight spot causing a quick application and brake to "grab"

my first thought is to clean and lube front caliper pistons and maybe give a good bottom hydraulic bleed.

the bike is equipped with a shaman dura ace lever and dura ace caliper and dura ace rotor r9120?

brake pads appear to be wearing evenly and bike does stop, more noticeable at slower speeds
