Temporary read lock from another process? Backups intervened?

I have a CL program that updates a data area (using CHGDTAARA). It runs
in a batch job that runs under user QPGMR. The data area is has public
change authority. Last night, I found the batch job in a *MSGW state,
stuck on the CHGDTAARA, claiming that it didn't have authority to the
data area. I gave it an R, and it worked just fine.

Can anybody explain what happened, and why?
