Virtually *all* evaluations are inaccurate to some degree :-)

The reason is is more inaccurate is that it is further away from the root where
the piece table was initialised.  For example at the root black may have a king
on g8 and white may think it is a good idea to have a rook on the 7th,
increasing the value of rook-on-the-7th piece values.  However in the search,
Black may move his king from g8 to g6 but white will still give a bonus for a
rook on the 7th.  This is a simple example but you can see the idea.
