Maybe we should think of it this way; even at the point of Earth's technology now, the Precursors were still capable of technology that seemed foreign. Without our knowing they meddled in Earth's history not all that long ago if you think of it on the cosmic scale. It seems to me that 4546b was a very important research center in a nearby cluster long before the Kharra virus took hold of their worlds.

It was also repeatedly mentioned that most of the life planet seemed to be in some kind of stasis, as if waiting the correct conditions. That sounds more like a labratory to me. With the warp technology and the clear desire to meddle in the affairs of lower life forms I think 4546b could even have been terraformed and life created on the planet for the purpose of study. The PDA also mentions many of the rays and creatures that have spread across all biomes share common ancestors and have evolved to adapt the planet. Could be signs of more Precursor genetic experimentation that led to the Kharra virus.
