Not really possible without a heatpump - Only suggestion is motor had cooled down and residual heat was in heatsink... This is difficult to imagine as the heatsink should be radiating more that the motor.

Only one final thought is that the heatsink was "radiating" more than the motor and fooling your temp gauage.
