No, they can't, unless perhaps theri TOS allows for it. I kind of doubt it.
I run into the opposite problem all the time in places.
I use BY-SA for my works. I often find the licenses reset to traditional
copyright ARR notices.
I think this happens by mistake, but it is a big problem. So far, the works
have been pretty much all mine. But what happens if someone comes along and
finds a work of mine built on their BY-SA work and claiming ARR?
I then have to go back and re-do the licenses again.

Can you go and reset the licenses at this point? On opsound?
As for the other sites, contact them and tell them of the problem?
Rsign yourself to letting those songs become dual licensed BY-SA your
preferred license and try to avoid the problem you have in the future?
