Steps to reproduce
Use
Push mobs off of the different towers to the landing platform.
Expected results
Each mob type would take the same damage when it falls from the same height (e.g. unarmored skeleton falling 23 blocks would always take 20 damage regardless of whether it is pushed by a player or by water).
Observed results
A fall of 23 blocks will kill a creeper, skeleton, or zombie when pushed by water, but not when pushed by a player (creeper and skeleton survive with one hp, zombie with two).
A fall of 22 blocks does less damage when pushed by water (creeper and skeleton survive with two hp, zombie with three), then when pushed by a player creeper and skeleton survive with one hp, zombie with two).

Now with screenshots! First three drops should kill all three (23 or 24 block drop --> 20 or 21 points of damage), last two drops should leave all three with one hp (22 block drop --> 19 points of damage), but that's not what happens.
I don't have a copy of java edition to test it, so someone else will have to check that. Either way though, fall damage is not being calculated correctly, or the calculation has been changed to do different amounts of damage based on mob type, fall height, and reason for fall.
The apparent differences between zombie types on the one hand, and creepers and skeletons on the other, are due to zombies having natural armor. Whenever these mobs have an small integer amount of hp zombies will take one more punch to kill than skeletons or creepers because punches do <1 damage to zombie types.
That being the case, the only inconsistencies here relate to the fall distance and method of causing the fall. Here are my results for skeletons and creepers:
Fall distance | Punches to kill after fall | Punches to kill after fall |
|---|---|---|
24 water | 0 | 0 |
24 nudge or piston | 0 | 0 |
23 water | 1 | 0 |
23 nudge or piston | 1 | 1 |
22 water | 1 | 2 |
22 nudge or piston | 1 | 1 |
