12m is only if the current sea dried up only once, without any other inputs.
The thickeness of the Messinian salt deposits they've discovered so far reaches over 3km in some places. This means it happened in stages with repeated phases of evaporation over the duration of the crisis.
Every time the water evaporates and concentrates the salt to a certain concentration the salt begins to deposit out of the water.
