I like to think certain places, like the Nefarivigum and the Inner Sanctum of Auri-El's temple are enchanted so that they attract certain artifacts. Eg. Auriel's Bow can appear to anyone, anywhere at any time, but it's more likely to show up in the Inner Sanctum.
Labyrinthian could be another such place: the Staff of Magnus can appear to anyone, anywhere, but Labyrinthian is its home, which is why the College of Winterhold was convinced that the Staff was going to be there.
