m←ġ(←►Lk=mȯmLgpṫ)N


Try it online!
This prints the infinite list.
The link truncates the result to the first 7 values, since the program is quite inefficient and times out after that on TIO.

The parentheses are ugly, but I don't know how to get rid of them.

Explanation

m←ġ(←►Lk=mȯmLgpṫ)N  No input.
                 N  The list of natural numbers [1,2,3,4,..
  ġ(            )   Group into slices according to this function.
                    Each slice corresponds to a run of numbers with equal return values.
    ←►Lk=mȯmLgpṫ    Function: from n, compute the reduced factorization leader in [1..n].
                     As an example, take n = 12.
               ṫ     Reversed range: [12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
         m           Map over this range:
              p       Prime factorization: [[2,2,3],[11],[2,5],[3,3],[2,2,2],[7],[2,3],[5],[2,2],[3],[2],[]]
             g        Group equal elements: [[[2,2],[3]],[[11]],[[2],[5]],[[3,3]],[[2,2,2]],[[7]],[[2],[3]],[[5]],[[2,2]],[[3]],[[2]],[]]
          ȯmL         Take length of each run: [[2,1],[1],[1,1],[2],[3],[1],[1,1],[1],[2],[1],[1],[]]
       k=            Classify by equality: [[[2,1]],[[1],[1],[1],[1],[1]],[[1,1],[1,1]],[[2],[2]],[[3]],[[]]]
                     The classes are ordered by first occurrence.
     ►L              Take the class of maximal length: [[1],[1],[1],[1],[1]]
                     In case of a tie, ► prefers elements that occur later.
    ←                Take first element, which is the reduced factorization leader: [1]
                    The result of this grouping is [[1,2],[3,4,..,57],[58,59,60],[61,62,63,64],..
m←                  Get the first element of each group: [1,3,58,61,65,73,77,..
