If large plants are coming from a small dwarf mother the only reasonable explanation I can see is cross pollination. In this scenario the small dwarf plants are the only ones that were self pollinated and the larger ones are a new cross. When the tomatoes are ripe the color may supply more clues as to what is going on here.

It happens.... just nature interfering with the best laid plans.
