It sounds like you had a very bad case of LOW stuck to the edge. It it's so bad you can feel it with your fingers then leather won't cut it. SB will.
Don't be afraid of applying more pressure to the belt with SB at sharpening angle. Well, um, be afraid if you wish but it's worth experimenting with to see the results. The worst that can happen is it will dull the edge but it's worth a try so you understand it.
I don't know why some knives do that. Type of steel? Hardness of the steel? Too mu;ch grinding? Anyway, every so often I've run into that too. It's a pain.
But, it's a good chance to experiment with blade to SB pressure and get a grip on what you can/cannot do.
"I'm just glad to be done with this blade for now."
Chuckle. I can appreciate that! Been there, done that too.
