That approach works fine (at least with this data) if we widen the
window and look more than one point to the left and right:

With[{k = 2},
data[[k + Flatten@Position[Partition[data[[All,2]],2k+1,1], x_List /;
x[[k+1]] < Min[Delete[x,k+1]] || x[[k+1]] > Max[Delete[x,k+1]]]]]]

will ignore the glitches and give
{{0.83,1.81008},{1.11,0.0324386},{1.71,1.72145}}
