There is a transformer/balun to get back to 50 ohm coax. A driven element impedance of 22 ohms is quite reasonable in general for Yagi design. The impedance is not the tail wagging the dog of the rest of the antenna design here. That would be the case if they tried to get 50 ohms driven element impedance to eliminate the transformer.
