Ah! Yes, this makes sense. By default, hexdump respects the endianness of
the host machine, and x86_64 is a little-endian architecture. You can ask
hexdump to instead provide the canonical output regardless of host machine
endianness, and then you see the expected result:
$ echo aYhba4dGQEHhs3uEe6CuLN4ByNQ= | base64 -d | hexdump --canonical
00000000 69 88 5b 6b 87 46 40 41 e1 b3 7b 84 7b a0 ae 2c |i.[k.F@A.

00000010 de 01 c8 d4 |....|

Thanks,
