MediaInfo can not measure maximum bitrate correctly so just ignore that info. If you can afford lower compression speed use slower preset as it will give you, more or less noticeable, better quality because you use same average bitrate.

P.S. Lets assume that MediaInfo can measure maximum bitrate correctly. Lower maximum bitrate for preset slower could aslo be the result of higher compression efficiency. Using slower preset x264 was able to compress same scene using less bitrate.

But, stick with original explanation - MediaInfo does not show maximum bitrate correctly. For that, it would need to analyze entire video, which MediaInfo does not.
