I don't quite understand about the second possibility. Hope u can shed some light. If the position is a popular position that is up for grab all year round, the company will conduct an interview and after the interview, they have to be accountable to those interviewees they interviewed right? If those interviewees call to enquire on the outcome, the HR should give them an answer right?
I refer to those jobs that are auto posted in career@gov. If you search jobs there regularly, you may notice some familiar job title that are posted repeatedly almost every month. To me, these jobs either not urgent to fill or are posted to meet some performance target.

To the HR, they need to handle hundreds of applications for each position. Possibly, they may not rmb which candidates for which position. So this why I suspect the general answer for HR when facing such enquiry is "The outcome is not finalized!!!", especially if the position level is entry or mid-level
