What that "can" amount to, is that once a longer ranged, less accurate piece is brought down to actually being used at the shorter range, it may be just as accurate or better, because it's lesser accuracy is based on a higher number to begin with. I don't know if the number it is based on is the medium range for all weapons or not, but I doubt it's based on the longest range, which is probably considerably less accurate than the accuracy stated.
For example, a tank gun with a range of 60, with an accuracy of 10, would be more accurate at range 20, than a gun with a top range of 20, but a stated accuracy of 12.

The German 5cm has the same range as the British 2 inch, 500M.
Ger 5cm.....500m....Acc 5
Brit 2in.......500m....Acc 3
Jap 50mm...650m....Acc 5
US 60mm...2000m..Acc 3
Rus 50mm..800m....Acc 3
As you can see, the Axis mortars are more accurate.
If it's as you say - and the mortar accuracy is relevant to say half range - then at 250m the German mortar would have an acc of 5, the Brit mortar an acc of 3, and the Rus mortar an acc of about 2
