It seems possible for the spark to proceed between the center pins provided that the distances involved add up. Electric fields fall of rapidly with distance and so close by grounds or other potentials have a major advantage over those further removed.
I cling to the concept that free protons from the hydrogen molecules are being fed to the metal surface where they can be absorbed easily. Molecules must first obtain the energy required to break apart the individual atoms before they can slip in. I believe this is in the ballpark of 4.5 eV which would be a simple task for the spark gap to deliver.

Most people think about them as sparking like an auto plug (they are but ..) across some gap. I think they are using them just as HV feed throughs. Notice they have 2 of them on each end. I think they are not sparking on each end but through the sample. I agree with this observation, Dennis.
