Look at the change in Circling minima, there’s a close in obstruction. LNAV minima will assume a dive and drive type approach where as the LNAV/VNAV will give a glide path with a corresponding obstruction clearance surface which may clear obstructions in the LNAV only area.

LNAV+V and LNAV/V (depending on brand of electronic wizardry) is the difference between advisory and mandatory guidance.
