I suppose it's a bit like when you shoot using a wide aperture, the closer you are to your subject the shallower your depth of field becomes. By zooming in closer on your subject you're effectively shortening the perceived distance between you and your subject. If you zoomed out your depth of field would also increase, but I guess to explain this properly I need to find the mathematical formula that governs this relationship.
