The answer to the second experiment still lies in the Maxwell-Faradays equation. It states that the change of magnetic field in time causes currents. Despite producing a stronger magnetic field in the first case, in the frame of reference of the ring, magnetic field changes more in the second case leading to bigger currents resulting in larger forces and that leads to slower descend.
