simplified: there can be two reasons for  inbound (OR) IP != exit IP:

a) the exit used 
https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#OutboundBindAddressExit
or some form of NAT

b) the exit relay uses an tor client to route its traffic back into tor


This exit was doing (b), I think you are referring to (a) which is perfectly fine.
