The water was likely running from another location then dripping through the spot you saw. When you pushed the screwdriver through, it may have created a small lip of soft material (drywall?) around the hole that now diverts the water around the hole and somewhere else. Picture it as the lip around a crater or an ant hole created by the upward pressure of soft, wet material by the screwdriver. The water drained quickly at first because it was above the 'rim' but once it went below, it started going to the next low point on your ceiling. That's my thought anyways.

More likely there’s a slow leak from the roof, and water had accumulated before starting to leak through the ceiling. He drained the accumulated water, but the slow leak is still going.

I'd dare to say it's a little of both since I thought he said it was still raining but didn't continue to leak.
