yeah this is it. There can be retention on a contract twice, and the max is half of the remaining cap hit.
Team A trades the player to team B and retains 50% of the whole contract
Team B trades the player to team C and retains 50% of the remaining contract (= 25%)
that's exactly what happened here and it's the maximum allowed per CBA.
