Quality output differences in Nanoplot fastq vs summary

Just a warning, Im moderately new to bioinformatics so I may just be confused.

I have been standardising the analysis of fastq's generated from Nanopore DNA sequencing through shell scripts. As part of my QC procedure, just to verify I have not made any mistakes while processing the files, I've started generating full NanoPlot reports of both the sequencing summary and all of the full fastq's. Both of the stats reports do report the same total amount of reads/yield, which means I have not made a mistake while processing, but report quite different quality values (i.e. 11Q vs. 10.4Q).

Am I missing something, is this normal? Is this part of how the calculations are made? Should I trust one report over the other and if so which?

Thanks!!
