I've have never heard of this occurring. (The aircraft diverting to SHJ). Even if a flight was carrying SHJ as an alternate into DXB, though it would be highly unlikely that they would, mainly due to the fact the airfields are so close, any weather in DXB is most likely going to affect SHJ as well.
I think what the OP meant is that the aircraft gets parked at a remote gate, which means longer taxiing after landing, and a long bus ride to the terminal.
I don't know if the situation would have improved given that the airport hasn't expanded and the number of flights has only increased.
