The weights adjust for under-sampling and over-sampling in various strata and for nonresponse. For the sample as a whole, the weighted total and unweighted total are equal (ignoring the factor of 1000000). In subsamples, the weighted total is greater than the unweighted total about half the time, and less about half the time. The two are usually within about 10% of each other but the difference can be wider. I don't think you have a problem here.
