Most likely down to that wheel having more traction than the other 3, and the diffs where behaving as they should, sending power through to least resistance.

Thanks guys I was thinking the same just curious what y'all thought

Honestly I think it's broken, and you should just go ahead and ship it on down to me in DE for disposal in my driveway!! Nah, seems like all is working as designed and you're good to go and enjoy climbing up on other items...

Yep, the front end of all cherokees came with an "open diff". Meaning the two wheels are not locked together so they turn at different speeds depending on need. Like in a turn, the inside tire covers less distance so technically needs to be getting less power. The good thing is it sounds like you have a limited slip in the rear if both wheels were spinning as it was optional.
