Not that I claim to understand how magnets work but I think your brake pad has possibly become magnetised by the sudden jolt of hitting the bump and is now strongly drawn to the metal in the wheel rim.
to demagnetize it you'll need to rub it with something else that's magnetic, I hear the metal (shiny) side of a CD works quite well.
