As evidenced by this screenshot:

the two Forward swaps had gone through perfectly well, and it's only some time later that someone, somehow, in the name of what? was able to initiate the Swap refunds. The second "refund", initiated shortly before I wrote this post, only went through in the night.
In your screenshot, only one Forward swap had gone through perfectly: the "dimmed" one.
The other two (with no BTC amount after "Forward swap" in the description) have failed must be because Boltz failed to send you the lightning funds, that's why they had to send you a refund.
May be at their end or their/your channel's connection issue.

In your screenshot: Lets, label each line as tx1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7:
  • tx1 is the refund of tx5
  • tx6 is the refund of tx7
  • tx4 is the successful forward swap.
