It's because of the changes made to SMN. The changes buffed them in certain areas that they hadn't intended. Since it was before a patch cycle they had time to adjust it without changing it with a kneejerk reaction.
The reason they are nerfing SMN dmg is because this game has 9 DPS jobs. The upcoming content is based on intended DPS, not the DPS that SMN was getting. So if they were to buff other jobs(aka they would have to buff all 8 jobs + buffing tank/healer dps) to be in balance with SMN DPS, then they would need to re-evaluate the HP/DMG values of Omega/Byakko. It's just easier to readjust SMN to it's intended DMG potency than it is to buff every other job to compensate for SMN unintended potency.
