I clearly don't have a grasp of reference frames. Can someone elucidate?

The event occurred is 26,000 light years away, we date it as having occurred 26,000 years ago.

How is it that a location that's closer, say 10,000 light years, would have dated the event to 26,000 ago rather than 10,000 light years?
