What does it mean?

Steve,
The NOSS launches have (usually) three subsatellites, flying in a
triangular pattern.
Two in the same orbit: the leader and the follower; the third sat
has an orbit somewhat to the side and is known as the outlier.
NOSS 4E is such an outlier.

Greetings and clear, dark skies
