Android 12 is 4.14

That's odd, mine is on 5.4

It looks like each Android release allows for a selection of kernel versions (for the OEM):

Mine is at 4.19.

My pixel 4a says it is on android 13 but kernel 4.14. It seems they break their own rules.

Those are only requirements for newly launched devices. Post launch, devices tend to stay on the same major kernel version even when they get new OS versions.

The linked page says "kernel upgrades aren't generally required when updating the platform release", so the relevant entry is the one for Android 10, which the Pixel 4a originally shipped with.
