I know little of this. How/why could one be higher latency over the other?

Different paths. If you’ve got a “dual stack” on your computer, give it a try.

tracert -4 google.com

tracert -6 google.com

I do get very different hops and latency.

However for “happy eyeballs” algo to fallback to IPv4, latency needs to be very bad on IPv6.
