I've looked at this it and I think the difference might be due to the programs focusing on different things when it comes to changelogs.
For update-manager you are getting a newer versions of packages already installed. The focus here is on what the changes include, which issues are involved and what you might need to know before installing. Any historical changelog entries are less relevant since they discuss bugs or issues which are already resolved due to the fact that this is already installed on your system.
For synaptic, which is a full-fledged package manager it makes more sense to be able to see the complete changelog for packages to see what has changed since the dawn of time, including when it was initially packaged 20 years ago.
Sot it looks like this is intentional behaviour, though I've also added synaptic as affected, so we might get a more official confirm or deny.
