Discrepancy in miles posted outbound/inbound flight

Hi!

I was checking my AA account after a recent trip. I went from SJC --> DFW --> OMA which was about 1500 and 500 miles. On the return flight, it was the same routing but opposite direction OMA --> DFW --> SJC and I only received 1418 miles. It was the same flight # throughout, however it went through DFW.

AMERICAN AIRLINES 1397 Y DFW OMA 583 583 1,166
AMERICAN AIRLINES 1882 Y SJC DFW 1,438 1,438 2,876

AMERICAN AIRLINES 1035 Y OMA SJC 1,415 1,415 2,830

My question is should I receive miles like my outbound flight? I know it's only about 500 miles difference, but I'd like to know for future reference.

Thanks everyone in advance!
