I guess you have actually a PHP problem. When you do array($results_separated) you're basically creating an array from a string that looks like this: "12,114,56,". By doing that, PHP is creating an array like this:

array(
    0 => "12,114,56,"
)

And obviously WordPress cannot find any posts with such ID! What you want is actually an array like this:

array(
    0 => "12",
    1 => "114",
    2 => "56"
)

And actually that's what get_col() returns, so you just need to pass $results to set() function:

$query->set ( 'post__in', $results );

EDIT: Actually I realised that your problem is when you call $wpdb->get_col(...), because it's interfering with the $query you will execute later on... Those variables are using some other global variables that probably get overriden, and that's why you're not getting any results...
