Re: Does this seem counterintuitive to anyone else?
No, it makes sense to me. In the first case A3h is behind to top-pair of Q's, and has 3 Ace outs and 7 heart outs (10/45 cards improve the hand). In the second case it is behind no differently than in Hand 1 (it doesn't matter if it is behind to KK or Q9) and has the same number of outs, but there are two less "bad" cards in the deck (10/43 to improve now as opposed to 10/45 in Hand 1).
Make one of the K's a heart and see what happens.
