That happens to every single popular post on Reddit. They have lots of weird fuzzing algorithms to counter votebots and adjust for a constantly growing userbase. It's not nefarious, and it's pretty common to see some picture at 4000 points that was at 6000 an hour ago. The score is only abstractly related to the number of votes.
