According to my observations, it goes from bottom to top, i.e., the reverse direction that previous Pentax DSLR shutters used. The prior "bottom border" now becomes a "top border" and indicates that the light hits the sensor a bit too late. It seems likely that the radio trigger used, isn't quick enough, although 1/200s is not really a challenge.
I don't have that problem with my Cactus V6II and my K-1 even at much higher shutter speeds. In other words, it is not the K-1 that is at fault here.
@dcpropilot: Are you still using Yongnuo triggers? They don't really support Pentax and some of their models require a wake up to work well beyond 1/160s. IIRC, the respective model was quite old though.
