Should the braking brake only click twice before its too stiff to go any further?

They over-adjusted your brake shoes. Now you're probably getting some excessive drag.

it's 6 to 9 clicks @ 200 N (20 kgf, 45 lbf) --OEM released specs

SO, sounds like they need to loosen it, because they "tightened" them too much, and then it'll be within those factory specs lol
