DXO has the veneer of objectivity and, as a result, gets a lot of attention. But the context is so complex and often of questionable relevance to real photography that the results often do not mean what the \"values\" assigned to lenses seem to suggest.
A simple test is to make some photographs with the lenses in question (likely the 16-35 f/2.8 L II, 17-40 f/4 L, and 16-35mm f/4 L IS) and look at photographic results. In terms of the real world effect of choosing among these lenses, this will be a lot clearer and straightforward than trying to sleuth out what the DXO numbers do and do not mean.
