Generally if you submit two logs for a contest with the same callsign
the most recent log will be the one that is kept.
So - yes if you sent in your checklog for the same callsign after you
sent this one in then it will be the log of record for your entry.

This may or may not have affected other entries in the contest.
Generally the log checking will notice that a log is incomplete and
is causing a lot of Not In Log (NIL) reports for other
entrants. Usually logs that appear incomplete are found and excluded
from causing other peoples scores from going down.
I have been the log checker for the ARRL June vhf contest for the last
few years. I can look into this further for you if you would like to
know what happened on this end - most of that contest is archived away
but I can take a look. Send me a direct email if you want me to
check.
On side comment - the ARRL VHF contests do allow you to enter more
than one log in one case. You can enter as a rover and as a fixed
station - the calls are K5TR and K5TR/R so they are different. And if
you do all of the cabrillo stuff right it all works out. The log
checkers often have to help these dual entries out. It really
complicates the log checking software and we wish we could get rid of
the rule that allows two entries from the same base callsign.
