Yes, although we can imagine this feels weird at the beginning, it is perfectly normal that this happens sometimes.
To achieve 4K@60Hz HDMI output our multiport hubs feature a smart switching USB chipset that switches from USB2.0 to USB 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps) when a super speed USB peripheral is connected or disconnected. When the chipset is switching, you can can see your screen flicker.

When your video signal drops back to 4K@30Hz, the Multiport hub has limited the bandwidth (DP lanes) to the HDMI chipset/output to preserve and prioritize bandwidth for the connected USB 3.0/3.1 peripherals. When the connected USB3.0/3.1 peripheral is disconnected from the Multiport hub the 4K@60Hz will be enabled again.
For 4K@60Hz, your device should support DP1.4 and be connected via an HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.0 cable to an UHD screen with 4K@60Hz capabilities.
