More likely they wouldn't be aware of exact figures. It could be they just assumed or wanted balls at the low end of the range and were unaware beyond.
Brady has said he likes his - he gave a figure that is at the lowest end of the limit. The Colts likely started with a higher psi and ended the game within the legal range.
If the Patriots manipulated them afterward, absolutely, they should be penalized. However, if they didn't since the officials signed off on them, then end of story.

Actually I would think the opposite. All the balls would be affected relatively equally.
