It means (to you) that the label corresponds to subsubsection, but
LyX cannot parse the LaTeX definitions and does its own counting.

Unfortunately, the possibilities to configure LyX counters are limited
(at least the ones documented in the Customization guide). (I did not
find a way to generate correct labels for the "continuing enumeration" in
the enumitem module.)

My knowledge in this field is limited as well.
Asking in the LyX devel list might help.
