Lumerical FDTD and most FDTD software are based on rectangular meshing :Ansys Insight: About override mesh in FDTD Solutions: its use and settings
Therefore it cannot apply local finer mesh that is not aligned with the axes.
If you want, please try DGTD, which is a Finite-Element based mesh, and can handle such local finer mesh properly. Introduction to DGTD - DGTD Solver Physics
