It would be nice if you could set a negative national focus (-2 points per month) on one monarch power type and then get one point per month in the other two types.

Interesting.
Would make for some interesting strategies.
Would make those really good in 1 stat leaders better.

Hmm, sounds logical..but..doenst it feel a bit gamey?
"Gentlemen, it is the chosen policy of our great nation to totally neglect our administration, in order to slightly improve our military and diplomatic capabilities.."

Well when you say it like that it sounds rather silly.
"Gentlemen, we are relocateing our resources from our administrative department, to our military and foreign department!

No more or less so than NF in general, or monarch points in general.
Think of it as emphasizing the other two in terms of funding and time at the expense of the 3rd. If you can neglect two categories in favor of one, there's no reason from a "fabricated reasoning for abstract mechanic" that you can't invert that choice instead.

I think this is a great idea, but I have a quick question: can you pick only a positive or negative national focus or could you choose both?
You could make an argument wrt the balance of the option, but one from plausibility given current NF setup would be self-inconsistent.
So let's talk balance since that's your line and it's the more constructive consideration. What makes you think negative national focus affords the player too much freedom, and how do you evaluate what freedom is too much? Can you lay down criteria that, if applied to mechanics consistently later on, wouldn't ban gameplay at present or add things that are presently disallowed?
I don't believe you can, but I could easily be mistaken on this one.
