That is quite surprising, since my own CS-6700(?) 10s cassette fits and engages well on my own FH-A550 and FH-6401, etc., ALL of my 7s freehubs.
My SRAM and IRD 10s cassettes as well (all have their largest cogs mounted on spider(s)).

Does your 10s cassette have the mounting surface recessed 2mm from the face of the largest cog?

(105/5700-equipped bikes often came with cheaper, all-steel cassettes (...perhaps having no recess/offset at the largest cog?).

Also might be the case that the smallest 10s cassettes have no offset/recess going on because of spoke-clearance issues(?).
