This occurred on my opponent Lacyon's turn 14. He shared some dogmas, causing me to draw a 5th card into my hand, an age 7, when I had Champlain on the board and achievements were still available. It did not trigger Champlain's karma. However, the next turn, I melded a card and drew a 5th card again, also an age 7, and this time it did trigger the karma. Was that supposed to happen?

The rules say that only one karma can be active at a time, although it is mildly unclear whether this applies to all players together or separately.  In this case, Archimedes' karma was in effect, so I guess Isotropic uses the former interpretation.
Although... Archimedes is a "if you would... first... " karma and the rules seem to suggest that the karma is considered resolved as soon as the "first" part is completed.
