Top tube height

I just purchased a Cannondale CAAD8 105 from a LBS. It's my first road bike and prior the purchase, the LBS owner had fitted me to the bike using an indoor trainer. The one thing he didn't do was make me check clearance through standover. I took my bike out for a ride the other night and noticed my goods were pressed against the top tube when straddled over the frame.. I'm 5ft 4in, torso is longer than my legs. My inseam is 71.3cm and the top tube height is 74.4cm. When straddled over the frame barefoot, I'd have to be on my toes to be somewhat "comfortable".. When wearing my cycling shoes, it's almost the same as when on my toes, but regardless, shoes or no shoes, my goods are pressed against the top tube. Should I be worried about this? Not sure if it's something I should bring up to the LBS owner.
