When it comes to a very current story, freshness is going to be very strong in the algorithm. If the refreshed content offers new information, then it's very possible to see a URL that already was ranking move up - so it makes sense to me.

Does that article allow comments?

I don't usually pay attention, but I recently noticed on one result (in web search) that the date Google displayed was actually the date of the most recent comment, not the date of the article itself.

you don't think that exist a procedure or tech mode for re-ping or similar? for tell to google that this content is updated?
