At that level, they can hold their own in any lane for a good amount of time. You don't have the immediate snowballing you see at lower ELOs. AP yellows are pretty standard AP fair, and Karthus excells at lategame wins. If you'll notice, almost all games are won by a (few) huge teamfight wins. This means the AP/lv runes give higher bonuses to help him when he needs it most: winning lategame fights. Every little bit helps. And it only is worse before lv.... 11 or so.
