I understand that you prefer S-left/right. However, I believe cycling
with C-c C-t will stay within the same set.

(I proofread that keybinding couple of times.) :)

As an aside, I've found that it's very fast to use the new speed
commands to change todo states. If org-use-speed-commands is turned on,
all one needs to do is hit "t" at the start of a headline.

I believe the presence of duplicate DONEs above is interfering with the
cycling from state to state. If I get rid of the second DONE or change
it to a different state, the cycling from set to set works as expected,
TODO --> DONE --> WAITING --> nil --> TODO. E.g.

#+TODO: TODO | DONE
#+TODO: WAITING

Best,
Matt
