Stopping distance at fixed brake energy is a function of weight

.. plus speed squared to a first approximation (0.5mv^2 comes to mind ?). Final approach speed - and hence touchdown speed - will be linked to weight (stall speed).

Unless you have evidence to the contrary, it is not unreasonable to presume that the performance landing distance trials were done with brake application immediately after touchdown - hence the need for early/prompt spoiler operation.
