Seen it happen and happening to me so often that I missed a UAV or that I didn't notice the stealth mech till I was dead and I saw him during the "dead spinning" animation where you can see your stats, running over my remains

First, you only think that no enemy 'Mech had LoS on you. It is possible that some tiny enemy Flea was peeking from behind some corner or rock.
Second, there was possibly some UAV that you have not noticed on the background of the sky.
Third, and I think the most probable from your description, you were narced. Some 'Mechs come with quirked TAG and NARC (range, duration, etc.) and if the enemy spotter unlocked skill nodes for even longer NARC Beacon duration ...
Nothing personal, but under heavy LRM rain mere seconds can feel like minutes ...

And on most maps you'll never see the beam trust me I'm a boss.

I suspect there is some sort of bug going on, but probably rare enough to escape notice.
If it happens again, double check if you are tagged or Narced.

Happens to the best of us, man. I primarily run Dire Wolves and Mad Dogs. The worst thing is when I get singled out in my Dire and have to spend most of the time sat on my thumb behind a rock not shooting or sharing armour.

One thing people have mostly forgotten to mention is that is lrm can still be fired dumb with no lock. The lrm-ing mech will have to have los and a clear path to you so anything like a bridge,tunnel,sign etc would have blocked the lrm from hitting you. The is lrm arc dumb fired is still pretty shallow but i suspect as others have pointed it it was most likely uav/stealth spotter.
Narc does have an icon on your hud with says narc in red and in a red box. Tag you mostly have to see it. A few mechs have quirks for longer narc and can add more time to it with skill tree. Rvns have the most that I'm aware of.

Many Mechs do not have their cockpit at the very top and thus when it looks like you're hiding the top of your mech might be sticking out from behind cover. Also a lot of mechs are quite fat and the same thing can happen with arms. Or if there is any holes in the cover you are using such as new your feet. They will still lock you.
So question is. What mech were you in and where were you hiding?
Other explanations include:
being narced and not noticing.
Someone unseen to you was spotting for the LRMer
They have maxed out target retention skils and you have 0 radar deprevation and "30 seconds straight" is just hyperbole.
Some maps like Alpine have graphical errors at long range where seeig through hills happens. This may allow locks sometimes.
