As far as i know, it occurs due to several reasons, and its generally just a visual bug. One way it happens is your game client calculates something wrong or you have lag, so the game shows enemies with purple shields even though they don't have more shield than their max.

The second seems to be due to magnetic damage, where enemies max shields are lowered, but sometimes when connecting with shield ospreys their shields get a bigger boost than they should for a split second, visually showing overshields.

These are just my observations though, could be wrong.
