Just a numerical sequence it seems that each number is a rounded off percentage increase from the previous one. It may be that just noticeable differences in tempo are percentage differences rather than absolute differences. A little experimentation with a calculator shows that the percent increase in the sequence is 5 percent (I did not try all of the metronome numbers, just the ones you listed.)
