This is because you ask it to. See below.

You are explicitly asking for a re-execution of a remote source block:

  :var DATA=pid

If you are only interested in the results, you should name them, and use
that instead, e.g.

  #+NAME: pid
  #+BEGIN_SRC shell :results value :cache no
  printf '%s' "${$}"
  #+END_SRC

  The following result is usually outdated/inconsistent!

  #+NAME: pid-result
  #+RESULTS: pid
  : 21867

  #+NAME: echo-pid
  #+BEGIN_SRC shell :var DATA=pid-result :results value
  printf '%s' "${DATA}"
  #+END_SRC

  #+RESULTS: echo-pid
  : 21867
