The result is stored in the local named "seq-of-states" and, in the loop, (vec (take 4 seq-of-states)) yields the same value at each iteration (since seq-of-states doesn't change). When you inline the call to get-init-states, get-initi-states is called at each iteration, returning a different result each time.
It's akin to (let [r (rand)] [r r]) vs [(rand) (rand)]. Hope this helps.
