Let's say that Lorkhan's heart didn't teleport them, but instead preserved them to return after some time. Time has been messed up for more than once in ES lore. What do you think? Umm...not a possibility as the dwemer were destroyed and bound to the numidium.

They weren't destroyed. They used the heart of Lorkhan and disappeared. So in the game, they come back, saying that the heart did not kill them but instead preserved them in time.
