I also think it's a function of size, probably related to the challenges of attaching 3 sets of stays to the rear dropout; on the smaller frames they have to have the kink so the mid-stays stay below the seat stays. On the larger frames, maybe, the greater angle between chain and seat stays allow the mid-stays to come in at a higher angle, lined up with the seat tube.
