Because it runs at 30 Hz and the monitor draws each frame twice since we don't swap the back buffers until each 30 Hz update. This is the same as how native 30 Hz PC games run.

Sounds like GroovyMAME also includes the popular "force all games to 60 Hz" patch, so 60 and near-60 games are forced to 60.0 and then the Gsync support doubles that rate. Obviously you don't want or need the 60 Hz force patch for Gsync since the entire point is that you *can* do fractional refresh rates.
