Without knowing everything involved, I can only speculate that the low V system is running in its sweet spot. Maybe the rpms are running in a more efficient range in the low V setup. Maybe gearing is better?

However, right off the bat, 6s @ 5Ah is 111 watt hours. 4s @8Ah is 118 watt hours. So, if the power output is the same, the low V setup will have a slight advantage just looking at those numbers. As long as current is kept reasonable, either one will be comparable.
