I think the reason for the email is that the topic was moved to #announcements, and by default, everyone is watching for first posts there. The fact that it was moved again later makes this less obvious.

I was confused in a similar case a few weeks ago [Preventing notifications when moving topics to announcements category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/preventing-notifications-when-moving-topics-to-announcements-category/387885)
