Very likely, yes.

It's tough to say what exact sequence of resize and migrate commands 
have caused your inventory and allocation records in placement to become 
corrupted.

Have you tried restarting the nova-compute services on both compute 
nodes and seeing whether the placement service tries to adjust 
allocations upon restart?

Also, please check the logs on the nova-compute workers looking for any 
warnings or errors related to communication with placement.
