RFCs are never moot because of an RFAr. Consensus trumps Arbcom-- Arbcom's just there for those gray cases where we prior dispute resolution couldn't come to consensus.
So once the RFAR opened, what was the purpose of the RFC?
Well first and foremost-- at the time the RFAr opened, Durova was still an admin, and there was an emerging consensus that she had lost the community's trust. The RFC continued well after the start of the Arbcom in order to assess that. Once she resigned, that issue was moot.
Another function of the RFC was that it served as a forum for feedback to the project from the community about the appropriateness of Durova's behavior (and, of course, the appropriateness of similar behavior in the future was it to recurr).
