That's not double jeopardy; that's just how a class action works. In the US, the plaintiff class is allowed to represent you unless you specifically opt out.
But to an extent you are right: if you've already been compensated (in the form a $5 class action coupon) for the $??? privacy harm of a rooted computer? Then too bad - you should have opted out before your class settled.
