In between each dyno run you allow the car sufficient time to cool back down to a set point, then begin the next run. You aren't just doing one run after the other which, like you pointed out, would raise the engine temp more and more over each pull. This is the most basic explanation I can offer of dyno testing.

1) Perform your first pull
2) Allow sufficient time to let car return to optimal engine temp ranges.
3) Perform next pull
