I thought the small field armies you were talking about were those of limitanei.
I thought the evolution was in a different way, not from a large central reserve in the III century to smaller sector reserves in the IV century, but rather a rapid change by Constantine the Great from an army deployed in the limes that was depleted from the best units to form the reserve forces, but certainly I read about it a long time ago so I may well be mistaken
