Well, that depends. I do not know how SKS compares the
hosts: Eiter it compares the IP-addresses (which would
by equal for the different host-names) or it does a
reverse lookup for the DNS-name of the IP-address.
Then you would notice the difference eg between
pyxis.cns.ualberta.ca and pgp.cns.ualberta.ca...

Just a guess...
