Perhaps a dumb question, but why would the EU courts be able to overturn laws in the UK now that the UK is not part of the EU anymore?

ECHR is not an EU court, but a separate entity, having for long had many non-EU member states.

ECtHR is not an EU court. UK is part of Council of Europe, which also includes Russia. Being member of Council of Europe entails mandatory treaty law of ECHR.
