Just a guess - probably to top off the gas.

BUR is probably using the short runway because of the fires burning in Lake View Terrace (the place, not the Samuel L Jackson thriller), Sylmar and Pacoima since Sunday morning. Those fires have probably closed the longer runway. With the short runway, A320s can't fully gas up.
