have used Opengo library to make my players play against each oth

Given random play, komi value

You are wrong two ways.

I thin

I ran some tests with 500k games each and came to this result:

with komi 2.5, white has 50.9 winn. perc.
with komi 3.5, white has 54.0 winn. perc.
with komi 4.5, white has 53.8 winn. perc. <
You won't get any playouts whose outcome is even, so 3.5 and 4.5 are
effectively the same komi in this experiment (it would be different if
seki were possible, but naive playouts don't result in seki).
Your results seem very plausible to me.

Sounds about right. Looking at my notes, I have 57% wins for white using
similar playout?rules.

It seems normal to me, Blac is only one play ahead, which value is several
points (probably 7,5 hence the komi value) given intelligent play, given
random play the value of one more move may be only one point.
You should try with more komi value to see which is the fair komi value for
random play
