> sea level doesn't have bumps,

Yes, it does.  The general average "sea level" can be modeled with an
elipsoid.  There are local deviations because the planet's density is not
homogenious and the amount of material also differs (mountains, valleys).
These variations effect the path of the GPS satellites.
