Referring to the part Resistor/Resistorkit and package AXIAL-0.3-KIT
The top soldermask for is about half the diameter that it should be. Oddly, the bottom soldermask is the correct size.
As an easy workaround is to simply use AXIAL-0.3 package has the same physical dimensions, the correct soldermask, and simply a smaller silkscreen.

The smaller diameter top stopmask is intentional on the KIT version of this package. We use KIT packages like this on some of our beginner level kits to help the solderer to avoid placing the component on the wrong side of the board.
Sorry for the confusion. I'll add some comments to this and the other KIT packages, to help clear things up.
