1) They do tweak the storage loot cap frequently. If they bumped it up from 198k to 199k, that would explain the difference perfectly. And they have done this before, so I'm not ruling it out. Unless you check this after literally every maintainence break, there really isn't a way to know for sure.
2) I've seen minor (and I think 2k still qualifies as minor) oddities with the loot penalty/bonus. I don't know if they do some weird form of rounding in certain situations or what, but its possible this could be a minor "bug".
For the record, I think number 1 is far more likely and is in fact plausible.
I can't say that this is real, but I can't really say it is fake either.
