This is not at all unusual, and I would be careful about thinking it has any predictive power.
It's extremely difficult to become a professor, so tenured or tenure-track professors at mediocre (but decent) schools often have degrees from big-name places.
Also, Olin College isn't even mediocre, just small. From what I understand it's pretty selective.
