The renotation data is defined under Illuminant C / 2°, so your reading is chromatically adapted to C before the notation is found. A Lab triplet is tristimulus-only: adapting a 10° reading corrects the white point but cannot transform the observer, so 10° results land very close to their 2° counterparts. The illuminant is the axis that moves the notation, not the observer.
