Spanning-Tree Root ID doesn't match when using a port-channel

I seem to have an issue. The Root ID doesn't match when using a port-channel. Can someone help me out.

I would like to know why?
1. The root bridge MAC is showing as 6073.5c7b.e900, but the non-root thinks the MAC is 6073.5c7b.e941 (is this due to a port-channel)?
2. Why does the cost show as "3"?
3. How is the root ID and bridge ID MAC generated?

Core switch that shows the root bridge.

I would like to add that I found the answer to Q3. How is the root ID and bridge ID MAC generated?. The MAC is the "Base ethernet MAC Address" from the Show Version command.
