You're assuming that the torpedo turns on its seeker head literally on top of the enemy target. Angles are what matter here, not really the depth difference. The seeker head usually turns on further away such that the depth of the target doesn't really matter, it's always in the cone (500 ft depth difference vs. activating the seeker from 6000 ft away). And the seeker cone is more of an actual cone, not a fan.
