This is caused by Soulsand not being a full block; the player is sunken down a little bit into the ground, as can be viewed on the Y coordinate in the F3 menu. With F3+B to show hitboxes, you can see the bottom of the hitbox is touching the lava.
This also applies to Farmland and Grass Paths, though they are open step higher up, and from the look of the hitbox, the player is not in the lava. Likely the lava hitbox is not at the same level as it is visually, and rather is likely a full block in height.
