I don't get this either, but I did a quick test to see if viral or corrosive is better against a low level grineer. What I found out is that corrosive does more damage( 14040) against viral damage( 11950.) My builds are the same in every way, except I switched out an elemental mod for the damage types.

Again, I don't understand how the damages came out like that, but I know corrosive does more than viral against an armored unit. I think it's because when enemies have yellow health, it means that their type is either ferrite or alloy. If you can take away their armor by corrosive proc or the 4x corrosive projection, then they become clone flesh.

So your best bet is to use corrosive/radiation against grineer, unless you can take away their armor.
