that's sketchy and means you are violating your own license.

and since there is no dual licensing or anything that says that the mongodb inc does not do what the license says...

They aren't violating anything. They own the copyright. The license exists for everyone else that isn't MongoDB Inc. They can do as they please and this isn't sketchy or in violation of everything. Open source software still has copyright and the owner of the copyright has no limitations to what they can do with the software they own. Open source software comes with a license which limits what everyone else can do with the software.
