In my opinion, this is probably due to the 450mv bias GM uses on oxygen sensor signal circuits.
If you watch from cold start, first key on, the oxygen sensors will report 450mv on the scan tool.
As the sensors warm up and begin creating voltage, the oxygen sensor signal will overcome the bias voltage and it will no longer be a factor. How quickly this voltage is overcome is a good indicator of o2 sensor heater operation and signal circuit integrity.
You are likely seeing the o2s cooling off and the bias voltage returning.
