Forgive me, I know little about these things, but what’s the relationship between this phenomenon and the quantum locking seen in other super conducting magnets, this looks as described as “pinned”, what would allow it to behave like the famous video of the magnets levitating around that circular track: https://youtu.be/Ws6AAhTw7RA

Superconductors will resist moving at any direction where the magnetic flux gets weaker, stronger, or changes direction. That's why they get described as "pinned".

Other diamagnets do that too, but in a decaying way that allows for movement. They usually rotate or move slowly sideways.

No other kind of magnetism show similar behavior. They either attract or repel all the way in.
