Could this mean Heritage themselves won the cards and are now selling them again? Something stinks here or am I missing something? If these items are up for sale, then it appears the winners weren't very serious about owning the cards.

Well, given what I read in that other thread about Heritage that seems possible.
The consignors must be disappointed. I think this entire thing seems to have benefited Heritage much more than the consignors.
Had they spaced these out over time they could have gotten more money IMHO.
But there is no denying that anytime you take a set that is collected by probably 100-200 people and dump a ton more material on the market prices will be tough to keep high.
