I notice that as well, but the only normalization Kodi does is for local hosted music files with replaygain tags.  I don't think pandora streaming provides any sort of metadata other than title artist album and album art, but that's a guess.

I found this on a Pandora Forum. It's a reply made by a Pandora Moderator:

"We do use the Replay Gain technique that encodes a fixed volume adjustment into the mp3/mp4 header so that the actual player (web browser, phone or device) can adjust volume just as the track begins playing."
