I had the same thing happen to my stems when I repotted my ZZ. Yours could be different, but mine was just from “bending” the stems. Pretty sure it’s just a water build up in the area or something, but I’m not an expert on ZZ’s by any means. It could be something as simple as the wind blowing a little too fierce. Mine are back to normal now!

Yellowing tips might mean overwatering though

Hello!! I can’t stress this enough but that is normal!!! Like it happens to all ZZs. This plant is a succulent, and every succulent produces something called wax. Wax is the light green part of the stem. It helps shield succulents from the sun. Even though this plant is probably not an outdoor it needs this wax to stay healthy. So pretty much do not wipe it off!  
The yellowing tips are from overwatering. Because it is the tips you only overwatered a tad. Like I said before it is a succulent!
