I think that is a given, right?

No, with lower alkalinity the pH will be lower, all other things being equal. If pH here really is lower when the alkalinity is higher, then CO2 must covary with alkalinity in this case. Hence, the CO2 becomes significantly higher as alkalinity climbs higher, causing the reduced pH.
