Perhaps one might infer that the length of time it took for someone to
notice this says something about the number of people who actually read
these Emerald journals with any regularity??

I'm having a hard time figuring out how an editor could unknowingly
republish a previously-published article, unless the author submitted it
without revealing that it had previously been published in another
journal.  Is that what seems to have happened in this case?
