Because raw meat has the potential to drip blood onto anything stored below it. If you store raw and cooked meats in the same fridge, you always store tyhe cooked meats at the top, and the raw meats on the bottom (with no food below it !)

Any raw meat should be stored below any ready-to-eat food - like lettuce, fruit, cheese, deli meat - usually in the bottom of the fridge and in the coldest spot. This will help prevent cross-contamination. Since chicken should be cooked to higher temperatures than beef, raw chicken should be stored below raw beef.
