Why not? It is closer to the roof and farther from the ground.
Either or both of those changes may easily have caused the change
you observe.

What gives you the idea that an elevated vertical is necessarily
a high angle radiator. This isn't necessarily so. The real
question is: "If you can get a horizontal radiator high enough
above earth (1/2 wavelength or more) to be effective, and it is
physically possible to support it adequately, why would you give
up the benefit of gain from reflection off the distant earth to
use vertical polarization?"

How large is this roof again? What band are you concerned with?
