When there are consecutive dynamics like \p \< ... \f \> ... \pp, they need to be all vertically aligned. LilyPond achieves that by grouping them into a same DynamicLineSpanner, so it's that object which is responsible for the vertical placement of dynamics. In this case, there's only one dynamic in the DynamicLineSpanner, but this still applies.
