A fine gentleman did an experiment building two inductors.
The coils were wound with 420/46 litz. Both inductors have 40 turns.
One inductor is close wound (215uh 7.7pf distributed capacitance).
The second has a 0.625/wire diameter space between wires, (187uh and 6.9 
pf distributed capacitance).
   The inductor with spacing has a higher Q, except at the low end

where the Q's are equal.

The reason for spacing the wire is to reduce Proximity effect.


Here is the graph, each coil was tested twice (two lines each)

What would be the reason that the Q does not start out higher,
but moves up with frequency?

Re: the difference in inductance, both 40 turns.
The inductance,  215uh vs 187uh = 86.9%
The capacitance 7.7 vs 6.9 = 89.6%
The capacitance of 40 turns did go down 10.3% with spacing.
The inductance went down 13% with spacing.   FWIW
