I noticed later submissions often had higher scores. Could this be a function of hn getting more popular over time?

Which data or table are you referring to? "Later" in the list of scores when submitted multiple times (first table)? Note that this is a 30-day window.

If you're referring to the front-page on HN, it could have been submissions of the second chance pool: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308
