They could have been springtails that you were seeing and not ants or mites. Also what kind of isopods, the dwarf types or one of the larger species? Many of the larger ones will go after living prey if they are hungry enough. If your whip spider died during a molt it could have easily been consumed by isopods.
In your area of Mexico you have smaller species from the genus Paraphrynus and Phrynus so you could have had an adult or close to it at the size you described.
