I think "next Saturday" is derived from "Saturday of next week", just as "this Saturday" means "Saturday of this week"
When speaking about days of the week - of which there are only seven - some clarification must be made.
When speaking about "the next time I see you," you're talking about some action to be taken <i>in the future</i>, so no distinction is needed to clarify that you don't mean "this time."
With days of the week, however - they're <i>all</i> in the future, so more distinctions must be made.
Anyway - that's my guess.
