I doubt closeness to sun has anything to do with sunburn. After all, there is no change is sun strength for leaves that are a foot or so closer to the sun!
Instead, notice that the burnt leaf is horizontal and facing the harshest sun rays at all times. Whereas the other leaves are at least partially turned away from the sun such that the widest part of the leaf is NOT facing directly at the sun.
