If they are being shuffled back in they can come back out. It doesn't matter who saw what. The only time you need to be aware of exposed cards is when they are being killed, and not shuffled back in.

Really, so if there was a board with three Queens on it, and you held pocket aces, it wouldn't be advantageous to you to have seen that there is still a Queen in the deck. If there are three Spades on the board wouldn't it help to see 7 spades still in the stub.

In the case here one or two players have seen almost one third of the remaining deck and they have the advantage of knowing both that those cards are live (not mucked by other players or burned) and that their opponents don't hold those cards.
