Receiving Mythic rare I already had 4 copies of
I just opened a Mythic Pack from Foundations and received the mythic rare “Omniscience” even though I already had 4 copies of the card.
According to the reply from Wizards of the Coast Customer Service the following rules for Duplicate Protection apply:
Booster Packs (from the Store, Weekly Wins, etc.)
* If you open a rare or mythic rare card that you don't have four copies of, you receive the card. Easy enough.
* If you would open a rare or mythic rare card that you already have four same-art copies of, the system will automatically replace it with a different card of the same rarity from that set. This follows the Duplicate Protection process.
The second paragraph should have applied to me. I already owned four copies of the card “Omniscience”. I crafted them with mythic wildcards months ago. Today I opened a mythic Booster pack from the set Foundations and received the card “Omniscience”. I do not own all mythic rares from the set Foundations. So according to your explanations that should not have happened. I should have received a different mythic rare from the set.

The first copy of a rare/mythic in a set must still be obtained before duplicate protection applies. You probably crafted the Enchanting Tales version from Wilds of Eldraine, and had no Foundations version yet.
All versions of a card you have can be used as any of those versions to the full count of the card in your collection.And duplicate protection applies to all those versions, but not the ones still missing in your collection.
