If enough people are sending the signal to regenerate stats every hour,
then the distribution of total key counts would cluster around a higher
value, so that people who rely solely upon daily key generation might
drop more than two stddevs below the mean (of numbers after outlier
exclusion).

SKS has a signal (in the man-page IIRC) which will trigger an update of
the stats reported in the info page, and used by the pool maintenance
software to decide which keyservers are up-to-date.  Send that signal
once an hour, see if that changes the situation?
