That's because your expected score was over 60%

In other words:
Consider rating as indication of strength and the rating change as a correction to a previous indication...
You and your opponent have a big strenght difference according to rating.
But in fact you only got a 72 move draw and won due to the order of scoring, so your ratings should be closer to each other, leading to the 4 points 'correction' to your rating.
