I already explained how to prove to yourself why those
two cases are different. Please perform the Smith Chart
gymnastics and then report your findings.

If one takes one foot of stinger and transfers it to the
base element section, the antenna length remains the same
and the resonant frequency increases. I assume you already
knew that. So of course, 0.646 is electrically longer when
it is on top of the coil than when it is on the bottom of
the coil. The Smith Chart exercise will show why that is
true.
