That sounds like a good guess. When I pull hold data, I use the following FTP statements, which gets everything necessary for further processing:

Only the 2 year HOLDDATA file contains Fix Category HOLDs, therefore, the first report you ran didn't use the latest Fix Category HOLDs. You then "pulled down and applied" the missing PTFs and reran the report, being surprised to find new missing PTFs. How did you obtain the PTFs? Most likely the 2 year HOLDDATA file was delivered with those PTFs, which contains Fix Category HOLDs. When you reran the report, you were finally using the latest and greatest HOLDs, hence the additional entries in the report.
