Could be it seized up briefly, than un-seized when it cooled down.

Your summer carb jetting might be too lean for cooler temps.

You generate a lot of heat with long pull in top gear. Rolling off the throttle without pulling the clutch in means the very hot motor gets deprived of cooling fuel and lubricating oil, while you are still turning high rpm.

During that brief time your hot motor was turning lots of rpm without fuel and oil, any number of bad things could have happened. Hopefully it is just top end related and the bottom end is OK.
