Isn't it true that most PoW/PoS hybrids have the same target block generation speed for both systems?  So why would there be many PoW blocks in a row unless it happens by random chance?

If the difficulty is very low due to low network hash rate then applying a substantially higher hashrate can cause many POW blocks to be generated quickly, much quicker than the target rate.
