If they were on cooldown or if the required mobs were killed outside the weather that spawns them (pulled before weather change), right? If it spawned in the latter case, it would be when the mob died, not several Eorzean hours later.

Anapos spawned a little over 2 hours and 33 minutes (rl) into the instance. There was no spawn of Anapos until then. If Anapos was spawned (when cooldown starts) and killed one second before I entered the duty, that would mean a 2.5 hour+ (rl) cooldown. It spawned about 6 minutes (rl) after the last sprite was killed. There was no NM up right before it spawned and both elemental conflicts were up.

Either the cooldown for Anapos is longer than two hours, something was preventing it from spawning, there is another requirement besides killing those sprites or there is a bug somewhere.
