This is because you are looking at a single set...believe it or not there is more to pre-WW2 cards than the T206 set. Crazy, but true!
Keep in mind the T206 set is from the earliest part of Walter Johnson's career while it is Cy Young's 20th year in Major League baseball, it would make sense that the card of a young superstar player would command more than the last card of another superstar. Even Christy Mathewson had items that predate the T206 set by 8 years. I would expect the T206 of a young WaJo to outperform the other two.
Looking at a single set and trying to extrapolate from that is too facile a comparison to get a true idea for relative value/demand.
