I haven't received an email response yet from housing connect, but I did a quick search and this is definitely not the first time this has happened.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure this happened to me when I first started applying for apartments back in February with one building's lottery, but I just thought my mind was playing tricks on me and the number jump wasn't terribly significant bc I was only eligible for 3 apartments and it went from like 11,000 to 35,000 iirc.
I am curious to see if they try to ignore this and hope it gets swept under the rug.
