This is the designed behavior of the protocol. Here is an excerpt from 2328.
Path-type
There are four possible types of paths used to route traffic to
the destination, listed here in decreasing order of preference:
intra-area, inter-area, type 1 external or type 2 external.
Intra-area paths indicate destinations belonging to one of the
router's attached areas. Inter-area paths are paths to
destinations in other OSPF areas. These are discovered through
the examination of received summary-LSAs. AS external paths are
paths to destinations external to the AS. These are detected
through the examination of received AS-external-LSAs.
