Any invoice that is overdue more than the number of days (Dunning Interval) defined in the Dunning Strategies in Business Configuration Fine-Tune activity, the Reminder Letter will be first picked since it was maintained with Dunning Level 0.

The system behavior is correct, when you execute the Dunning Run for the first time, system will go to Dunning Level 0 and will generate a Reminder Letter. Once the Reminder Letter is issued, the last Dunning date is set against the particular invoice and when you execute the Dunning Run again, it will go to the Level 1, following the sequence:

Dunning Level 0: Reminder Letter
Dunning Level 1: Dunning Letter
Dunning Level 2: Dunning Letter

And the same for next levels in case you have configured in your system.
