Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
A quick look to your script at least indicates you do not define
neverErase [*] in your "dry" contact law
(Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack)

Doing so, you're considering liquid bridges at contacts only,
disregarding the possibility for liquid bridges to stretch and exist
when particles separate (such distant liquid bridges usually exist for
lower suction values). If we assume that the capillary force between
contacting particles is constant in the range of tested suctions (?), we
indeed get a possible explanation for your simulations to be all the
same.

You may thus start with defining neverErase=True.
