Why is it the same hohmann transfer orbit period from mars to Earth?

I would believe Mars has a faster window to return to earth.

The earth goes around the sun in 365 days.

Mars goes around the sun in 687 days.

The mars to earth hohman transfer is when Earth is around 75-80 degrees behind Mars in orbit

That leads me to believe the mars to earth window times isnt 26 months but closer to every year since eventually the earth will always be behind Mars.
