The stair treads at a hotel in Boise darkened after 4 months, check your finish schedule

I did a 14-step oak staircase for a new build back in March and the client called me last week, said the treads looked like two different woods side by side. The difference was clear when I walked in, the landing and bottom 3 steps stayed light but the upper runs went almost honey brown. Turns out the GC let the painters use an oil-based poly on top of my water-based sealer without telling anyone. Has anyone else dealt with the finish reacting that fast, or is it just a pigment thing?
