Mycelium wallet is known as a "Hierarchical Deterministic" or "HD" wallet. It doesn't contain just a single private key... it generates multiple private keys, so that you can get a different address every time you deposit. It does this to try and help avoid "address re-use".

It is perfectly normal behaviour.

Note that you can still reuse an address that it creates, multiple times if you wish... it just isn't recommended for privacy reasons.

Mycelium would only be used as a cold wallet if it is completely offline (not a single interface available on your mobile, no wifi, bluetooth, nfc, ... ).
If it is on your mobile which is connected to the internet, has a SIM inserted, etc.. it is a hot wallet.

Cold wallet = completely offline (all the time)
Hot wallet = network interfaces enabled (e.g. connected to the internet)
