Check your facebook 'people you may know' and comment. May be a class action is about to take shape
There are other options, e.g. proximity. Or your colleagues have added your email or phone number to their contacts which messenger/facebook can access. It's a creepy feature but Linkedin selling their network graph is too far fetched in my opinion.
I think, and hope, that this will cost LinkedIn dearly.

Unfortunately, Facebook's official explanation of "People you may Know" is chalked up to "many other factors". So I don't blame you for speculating.

I wish they would update this page to be more transparent. If they are in fact using LinkedIn's network (I just saw your comment below about co-workers which are not in the same geographical location), I hope they let users know and make a feature to opt-out of mixing it with Facebook.
Another possibility is that your co-workers are browsing your public profile details without adding you.
Really you're leaking identifiable data all over the place. There's no way to tell what Facebook picked up on.

I thought about it. But it gets creepier. Former colleagues in different geographical locations who don't have my phone number/contact info but are only connected on linkedin appear in Facebook.
