Asked to interview with another group ?

I recently (finally) heard back from a Superday with a DCM group for a FT role, and was told that while everyone enjoyed meeting me they can't move forward with an offer in DCM, and they'd like to schedule me for a 30 min call with FIG instead. This came as a surprise since I I felt that I flat-out nailed my super day - not missing any technicals and making solid connections.

While I'm still interested in the bank and happy the process is still going, is it a bad sign I was asked to interview with another group? Should/Will this hurt my candidacy moving forward? How can I prepare for another, shorter, phone interview with a totally separate group?

All responses appreciated. These are uncharted waters for me.
