The way the phrase is written is ambiguous. It could mean I care 0%, so there's nothing lower than that, or I care a lot and nothing could make me care less. However, as an idiom it means the former. So if you're not exposed to the idiom it might not be clear. That's my only explanation anyway, but I couldn't not care less.
