So they weren't your seeds. Then you have every reason to believe they were older.
No respectable seed selling company renews their seed stock every year, it's not economical and makes no sense, at least for tomatoes, which can sprout fast even after about 5 years. So some will be from older some from newer stock.

Bu from my own seeds I noticed it's not always the same, there are factors that are just hard to predict, if you look at the seeds from one tomato you'll see a variance in seed size so not all seeds are starting equal and their mom is at fault ().
