Yeah the main shock of that swarm caused countless small quakes far away from the swarm..it was cool to watch.
Again though the swarm was happening before the 4.7 so certainly can not rule out a larger quake even though the swarm slowed!

Those countless small quakes are likely the reason for no large quake, as the stress dissipated through those. Sooner or later though, a major hangup will occur with a massive, all at once, release of force.
