This photo may change things. Try to contact the seller. Did this tallest growth, with leaves, develop since last winter? Or did it develop last growing season, and hold the leaves over the winter? Do you know whether the seller actually grows these orchids, or merely buys them for resale?
How many roots does it have?
If the growth is new this growing season, you should be watering profusely, and this unfortunately was not the best time to repot. If this is last year's growth, you should stop watering until it makes new roots and a new shoot, as I described before.
Some vendors don't let them go dormant when they should, in order to ship plants with leaves. But this unfortunately makes things more difficult for the recipient to figure out.

There are healthy roots, not that many of them (should have taken a photo of it), but they do not seem old, there is also one root which seems to be in active growth (it's green). None are rotten or shriveled.
I'll send them an email, but the home page says they're on a holiday brain until the end of the month, by which time this plant might not be around any more.
So it might be that the orchid was forced into active growth and simply "skipped" the dormancy, which might implicate that I need to water it more frequently.
