I see nothing extraordinary at all about the communication. Given the scrutiny of the McCann phone traffic, it is obvious to me that the PJ will have investigated and have been satisfied with the answers given.
However, it does tend to reinforce my argument that there is a tendency for inordinate consideration continuing to be heavily weighted in the wrong direction.
How about ...
Gerry who was out searching for his daughter calls home ... "have they found her yet?" or "has she turned up yet?" or "have the police arrived yet?" or " I hear the sirens, I'm going to reception to speak to the police".
Loads and loads of legitimate reasons for the communication ... nothing suspicious ... which I am sure the PJ ascertained.
IMO 23:14 is after GNR had arrived at main reception and met father there and driven with father to the apartment. These two very short mobile calls indicate that soon after GNR arrival at apartment, father was out searching again. The calls were probably something like "anyone found her yet?". But they would not be "have GNR arrived yet?", because these two calls are after father had met and spoken with GNR, IMO.
