Can someone point me in the direction of a photo of the damage that
might occur from storing a bike with its tires on a cold concrete floor.

depends on where you live. i live in colorado, and if you leave tubes or
tires out for long periods (like over a year) without using them, they
dry out and crack. other than that, i don't know that i'd worry about it.

No damage if you top them up periodically.

Don't think it exists - no such damage. If, though, you add a nearby
deep freeze compressor (or other ozone source), I'm sure there are lots
of examples. Heat is bad for tires as well, at least in the looong term.
