Doing a necro on this thread because the issue is still outstanding.

I can confirm this as my experience on live at this spot, there were two spawn points on opposite sides of the hill where the instant 3 spawns happened. They would then slowly meander away on their path points, but if you were high level and killed them all quick you never had to move, once the 3rd skeleton of the series was dead all 3 instantly respawned. I used to pay newbies a discounted price on bonechips to join my group and loot all the kills and then sell them to me when inventory was full.

Links below collected from the internet indicating that paineel is a good place to farm bones, not all with specific evidence of the above, but clearly not the way it works here with 6 spawns on a several minute timer:

I remember coming to Paineel for bone chips all the time and was sad when the decaying skeletons didn't spawn like I remembered. Dug up (necro'd) this thread that mentions it.

Evidence for 3 spawn that instantly repops after last is killed:

Paineel is, without a doubt, the best place to plant, sow, and reap bone chips, especially for mid level and up pet classes. Here is the plan - on the wall opposite the entrance to paineel city tunnel is the spawn point for 3 decaying skells. Now, to get them to pop (they all spawn at once), you ahve to kill the three that spawned from there (6 in the zone actually do). Kill a skell, dont bother to loot, just run over to the spawn point and check if the three popped. Once you get them to pop, whack all three with your pet as fast as you can. Again, dont loot yet. When you kill the third skell, back away from the spawn point until they pop. Now stay there. Rapidfire your autotarget key (usually F8) and your pet attack hotkey. The triple spawn will pop immediately after the third is killed.

Showing the 3 spawned, then pathed over the hill towards the guards:

Don't fight anything but skellies, they spawn extremly quickly in the back and march forward, and over the hill and march forward in groups of three that spread you.
