usetex uses latex's math mode for rendering ticklabels, and mathmode is rendered in serif. We tried supporting sans-serif once, and it turned out to be too complicated to cover all the corner cases. I think there may be a latex package that can be loaded for sans-serif math mode, but I don't remember what it is called. You could add that package invocation to your text.latex.preamble, but please note that text.latex.preamble is not officially supported (because it is so flexible, we don't want to troubleshoot latex issues on this list.)
