That's expected.

Does any filtering or processing rule implied at B account (automated)
checking copy or move mails to any folder that belongs to the A account?

You did the right thing. Unless you are not reporting correctly what
you see or didn't do what you are reporting, I suspect an IMAP action
that is done during the automatic retrieval and that implies this A
account indirectly.
