DXF to GeoJSON conversion gets coordinates completely wrong?

I am using GDAL and the ogr2ogr tool in order to convert a file from a DXF to GeoJSON but at the same time convert the coordinates to another CRS, from Sweref 99TM to WGS84.

The issue I am facing is that the coordinates gets very wacky when the projection is being changed.

I am using this command: ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -s_srs EPSG:3006 -t_srs EPSG:4326 test1.geojson test1.dxf

All the coordinates is something like: geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 62.30984294549225, 3.52484086442923, 0.0 ] } when in reality the 3 should be 16-something and the first one isn't correct either.

What could be wrong here? I get that it isn't much to go on, but the files are pretty big and I've manually gone through some of the conversion of coordinates if I skip the projection change and that looks as expected.

Is there something wrong with the DXF or my command, or is there something wrong in the actual projection change?
