CVS only demands that what you're committing be up to date.  If B had
done a simple "cvs commit", then CVS would have examined the entire
directory and complained about the file modified by A being out of date.
Instead, B apparently commited just the file he had modified ("cvs
commit foo"), so CVS only checked that file, found it up to date, and
allowed the commit.
