Breakdown voltage doesn't have much to do with voltage drop across the arc (because there isn't any arc yet, eh?)The important reason I think may be that the gap spacing for the same breakdown voltage decreases.The arc is shorter. Shorter the arc column-> smaller the voltage drop (and conductive loss). There could be other things at work here why it works better too. But I have no knowledge about them and just speculate. Dex
