Sueldos is masculine because it derives from Latin "solidus" (a Roman coin), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish inherited its grammatical gender along with the word itself. The masculine gender stuck even as the word evolved from referring to a specific coin to mean "salary" or "wages" more generally.
