His hand was quite a bit better than yours because he had the remaining wheel card (5) in case the A or 2 were counterfeited, as well as the made 6-high straight. Apart from not having the flush draw, he had the nuts on this flop. But your opponent won't always have the nuts, and you probably have marginally enough equity to call when he re-pops it even if you know what he has. But you know the rest of your chips are going in at this point, so you have to take this into account when working out your pot odds.

If you assume he has A2 as well, there are only 4 outs to counterfeit your low, i.e. you're 83% to split low. You're only going to win high if you hit your flush (36%) so you total equity is about 0.5*83%/2 (low) + 0.5*36% (high) = 39% equity. Seeing as you only need 33% to call all-in in pot-limit, the call doesn't look too bad. (It's actually a bit more complicated because of the third player but... well, use one of those online calculators if you want to know exact numbers.)
