Afaik, every zombie variant including drowneds has 2 armor points, but skeletons don't. However, armor does not affect fall damage. I think this may be the underlying cause though; can you please attach a video of this occurring?
@brevort could not attach video it was too big. So here is a Imgur link https://imgur.com/a/anxX5hX
I run into the same problem when creating a mob grinder in 1.19. I was confused because my wither skeleton fall-damage-grinder works properly. My wither skeleton would fall, and it would only require one hit to kill it. This doesn't work on my drowned grinder. I will need 3 more hits to kill a drowned. If I increased the falling height by one more block, the drowned fall to its demise, no exception. I looked up to find wither skeleton and drowned both have 20 HP, so I started looking up on the Internet when I found this post.
Can confirm in 25w02a. Currently dies at 22 blocks due to MC-279301.
