Additional Information
This is not a bug. The Calculate Geometry tool is using the z value of the centroid of the polygon, while Field Calculator is using the mid z value of the polygon's maximum z value and minimum z value.Workaround
Use the value or result of the Field Calculator or the Calculate Geometry Attributes tool when looking for the geodesic geometry value for the centroid z.
