I've seen that phenomenon in past months as well.
Having worked in PBS a few years ago, I can explain why that is so. After the bid runs are complete the company assigns all the trips in DBMS to the awarded pilots, as determined by the PBS software. Then the company does an FAR legality check from within DBMS and makes sure that the PBS software did not miss anything. 99.9% of the time the two systems are in agreement and the schedules are then released. Every blue moon some software hiccup occurs and the company determines that the PBS software missed something: new FAA interpretation of an obscure sub-section, new contractual side letter that did not get fully reprogrammed, etc. Then you might see a particular category's result get pulled, the software updated to properly reflect the new information, and the category rerun.
