That is because the lake they pass through is higher than sea level, not because different oceans have different water levels (they are all connected look at a globe).

Any minute one of the infamous RnF professors is gonna pop in here to pontificate and show us all how well they can google, so, I'll just say it:

According to NASA, and several other super-scientific agencies that measure shit all precise-like, the surface of the Pacific Ocean *IS* actually higher higher than the Atlantic. It's only a couple feet, but there is a difference.
