Huh, that's really interesting. I had no idea that overleveling improved damage at all in this game, and honestly was under the impression that it didn't. Both shots were the same sniper rifle on the same boss at the same range and with the same perks and buffs active?

I don't think it does. Many many people have discussed this and it seems to hold true for Des2ny. The difference is likely either the range, or the call to arms buff.

Either that, or increasing the power of the particular weapon causes it to do more damage. So, if your gun was at or above the enemy power level, any amor pieces you added would not increase your damage even if it improved your overall light level. Worth looking into.
