Retaining Wall Bearing Eccentricity

Enercalc creates a flag if our resultant force is falling outside the middle third of the footing.  If all global stability and bearing pressures meet the proper safety factors, is this a concern?  When the resultant falls outside the mid-third, will the footing lift up making the design unacceptable?  I would be curious what others have to say.
