Tracking and wheel alignment

On our way back to the ferry port in Cherbourg, I managed to hit a high kerb. The thud was felt right through the car. Fortunately there’s no damage except to my pride and the wheel alignment.
The rear right wheel (the one that made contact with the kerb) had a negative reading camber of 0 degrees 45’. This meant everything else was out. It’s since been corrected and adjusted by specialists. What surprised me however that the impact with the kerb was at about 3 mph. Barely moving.
I since wonder if there’s a difference in the setting when on winter tyres and wheels as opposed to the standard wheels and tyres.
