It would help to see your test file. For example, in the following Org buffer,

  * Level 1
  ** Level 2
  *** Level 3
  **** Level 4
  ***** Level 5
  ****** Level 6

exporting subtree with point on "Level 4" will result as <h2>Level
5</h2> and <h3>Level 6</h3>, which is correct.

I think your file is more like the following:

  * Something
  ** An intriguing and fun question
  ****** An intriguing and fun question

I.e. you skipped levels in your file. Then, numbering indeed skips
parts. So to put it differently, level is relative to the lowest level
among exported headline (it will always be 1), thereafter, it is
absolute.
