Looks like the default spamassassin settings from local.cf.

Spamassassin uses a default score of 5.0 (local.cf). When you run
spamassassin as user root or another user then the settings from
local.cf are used because you run spamassassin directly.

amavis runs as user "amavis" (or another dedicated user) and uses the
settings from amavisd.conf when it calls spamassassin.

The spam score itself are nearly the same (22.0 points) so it's OK.
