My guess is it went back up. Leaving the lid open for that short of time wouldn't affect the moisture content that much of the cigars and humidor. Initially you'll see the drop, but it'll go back up once you close the lid.

The water beads you have, are they the gel like beads that absorb water and swell up, and bought in a craft store? If so, try using less of them in your humidor.
