Those numbers most likely are the result of different play styles on PS and FT or simply the result of variance. Generally PokerStars rake should be noticeable lower than FT rake.
I calculated the rake for both sites (plus party and titan) by using a fixed set of 10k hands for each site and various limits. Turns out, all else being equal, PokerStars is more than 9% cheaper than FT for NL50+ players.
Those are the relative rake values for the sites and various limits in big blinds / 100 for 6 max cash games:
Obviously those numbers will differ depending on play style.
More numbers and the method used to calculate those numbers can be found in my rake comparison article.
The 9 percent difference corresponds roughly to the 10 percent difference used in my rakeback comparison which basically shows that, for players generating up to $18k rake per year, PokerStars and Full Tilt offer the same rakeback despite FT charging more rake.
