Next time you might want to redirect all pages to the maintenance page by using HTTP status code 302 or 307. (Temporary redirect). The maintenance page should then respond with code 503 Service unavailable to prevent indexing the page.
The homepage was responding with 200 and other pages with 404 so they could have been removed if Google was crawling the website.
That is assuming you care about SEO, otherwise never mind
