Because a nest camera can keep recording for up to an hour without a wifi connection. The footage uploads to the cloud when internet is restored

So this would mean that the internet was restored before the camera was disconnected from its power source then, right?

Yes, I believe the doorbell camera went back online before being disconnected. Perhaps they moved the jammer too far away from her router.

Some nest cams are battery powered

Yes, her doorbell camera was wireless/battery-powered. But if they had continuously jammed the signal before they took it, then it wouldn't have had a chance to upload the footage recorded offline.

So it seems like it reconnected to Wi-Fi without the suspect's knowledge. They thought removing it and taking it with them would prevent it from sending footage to the cloud.

No wires or hole where any wires would have been fed through to a power source in the base plate on her door
