So, as I thought not much is actually 'wrong' with caldari suits... at least on first glance. I'll give my thoughts on the various statistical differences.
Caldari commando: sniper rifles. Outright I think sniping is the big reason this thing seemingly has a way, way higher kills / spawn. I still feel its incredibly underpowered in terms of tank stats, so people want to stay off the field with it... which means they're sniping with 3x complex damage mods (yay +~38% rail damage!).
Caldari Sentinel: Actually a rather good suit not entirely sure why it's got such high avg KDR, but I suspect it's from long range forge gun gameplay rather than marching into walls of fire with HMG's.
Caldari Scout: This one baffles me but my initial thoughts are because it has absolutely amazing inbuilt recharge stats (3/4 delays, 50hp/sec unmodified). If I had to suggest a nerf, I'd drop the shield recharge on it by 10 points or so.
Caldari Assault: Relatively good regen stats when fit for it, rail rifle & bolt pistol are the common loadout on it.
Caldari logi: With only three equipment slots most callogi's are in a position of providing fire support for their allies and healing them through rep hives, rather than standing behind them and working on them via rep tool.

We're only looking at one metric though. This is only scratching the surface and there's a lot more going on.
Yes, they have good KDR's but why is that the case? Is it because of the range of their weapons? Maybe partially? Is it because there's only a small 'elite' group using them and there's less 'bad' players bringind down the average? maybe. Is it because people who use these suits practice an incredible amount of risk avoidance behaviour? Probably true in the case of the cal commando.
One metric doesn't explain everything
I mean I have quite a good idea on why the cal scout and cal commando have the 'best' KDR's, and some ideas on why the assault, logistics and sentinel are up there too but that doesn't mean my ideas are necessarily correct.

Is it not reasonable to assume that these Caldari KDR statistics are being inflated by outliers? For a few samples, specifically the Calmando, I completely agree. In others, though? The Callogi?
More time spent shooting & less time spent repping because of rep hives. Also popular with myo builds for a bit.

You're not, nor should you ever be guaranteed to win a fight at close range.

Core locus nades & nanohive spam? Locus Grenades are what, 8nanites each? If using proto hives you can get 9 grenades out per hive... and carrying 6-9 hives (gauged hives carry a stupid amount iirc) that gives you 54-81 core grenades, per spawn.
