Defense drones don't shut down when the enemy was neutralised, they merrily circle your ship for ever and ever. I guess something else happened that shut them down, e.g. backup attery expired, or a Zoltan wandered through drone control, or an unseen fire broke out damaging the system, etc.

Drones can also get shot. Maybe yours took a hit from a laser blast right before the missile would have been shot. It sounds like a crazy coincidence but it happens all the time.
