Key difference between Humans and Canines is that Humans have actual population gradients (regional ethnicities).

If Europeans just consisted of absolute extremes e.g. Swedes while Sub-Saharan Africans just consisted of Zulus the Wolf and Coyote comparison would be plausible.

But when you factor in populations like Spanards and Greeks in Southern Europe to the Ethopians and Fulani in East and Northern West/Central Africa then it gets more hazy.

What that fixation index isn't factoring in is the sheer scale of population dynamics by regional distances. You can get a wider genetic structure simply because of the scale differences. If Sub-Sahara Africa was actually the size of Europe I suspect that value range would be smaller due to less variation by scale.
