Power vacuums are anything that creates a gap in power that other things will need to fill. A dungeon has its own ecosystem and the monsters on each level are a part of that. If the players are going through a dungeon they are creating power vacuums in their wake by killing the denizens of the dungeon.
Then as often is the case the players will leave the dungeon several times to sell loot, take a long rest or maybe travel weeks or months away to upgrade weapons and armor or to sell the rest of the loot.
What happens in the dungeon? Well, most game masters have literally nothing happen. What a great opportunity for something to happen while the players are away. So instead of just waiting down the four empty floors, they are greeted with a new entrance and armed guards, not from the town but the denizens on the floor they would have killed next.
Now they are waiting for the players and ready for combat.
Here more about this in this episode.
