Turns out the Total Capacity metric under the Capacity Remaining tab is an average.  Some clusters experienced events where hosts were either disconnected or unavailable, and this affected the Total Capacity metric.  Capacity under the Workload tab represents the real-time value.  Not ideal when you are performing capacity planning using current data, but there's a way to even it back out.

VMware suggested that I modify the policy for the Cluster Compute Resource adapter by changing the Capacity Calculation setting from Current to Trend.  This balanced my Total Capacity metric back out.
