There's a reason for that...called "mirrors"

The link on most pages is to "index.html" or "../index.html", etc.,
i.e., relative to the page you are at, and on the site you are at.
The link to all man page references, however, is to
"http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi", an absolute site, as mirrors
don't offer man pages.

So, if you are using your local OpenBSD mirror, then click on a man
page, you get transported to www.openbsd.org.  If you were then to click
the logo, you would be "hijacked" to the www.openbsd.org site, which I
believe is a non-desirable situation.
