Study on MW-pots

Cheers guys,

today i have a theoretical question that came up while studyying a somewhat standard spot. Baseline was kind of a dumb question i asked myself after a discussion in a Discors-group:

If we face an All-in pre (100B) vs strong ranges, could there be a situation where QQ has more equity than KK? I asked this myself due to the blocking effect of KK to AK (So villains range becomes stronger in relation to KK than QQ).

So what did i do? I chekced the equities of QQ/KK vs strong ranges in MW-scenarios: vs QQ+/AK execlusively.

Spoiler alert: My question was dumb as KK will always be superior to QQ.

But i made an observation in this studying that i cant explain to myself:

So i checked the equities in 3way to 5 way scenarios and as mentioned: KK will always outperform QQ in total.
But there is a signifcant difference related to the number of players involved that i cant eyplain to myself.
So usually the equity-advantage of KK vs QQ (vs QQ+/AK) will be around 2-7%.

But if QQ is facing an AI vs 3 other ranges that are structured like this, the difference of KK and QQ in equity will only be around 0.1%. This is decently different from getting QQ in a 3way or 5 way scenario.
Does anyone have an idea why this could be the case? It sounds somewhat illogical to me.
I checked this with pokercrunchr and flopzilla.
