User Stories/PBIs don't have a Remaining Work field by default. What you're seeing in the backlog view is the sum of the values of the Remaining Work fields on any child work items.
If someone went and modified the process template and put the Remaining Work field on your user stories, that would explain what you're seeing. You're filling in a field on your User Story, so it appears in the query view. But in the backlog view, it's summing up all of the remaining work on the child Tasks, of which there appear to be none, so you get no value there.
