For me, being 20,000 black holes within a radius of only 6 light years is like being super close together, considering the size of the galaxy. And the fact that the galaxy is almost the age of the Universe, they probably had time to collapse together already. Unless, as you said, they constantly come from the inner galaxy rings, and are on their way to the centre. This theory makes sense to me. A small black hole maybe can eat stars, but a super massive black hole can eat other black holes. But if these 20,000 black holes are orbiting Sagittarius A for millions and millions of years it would be amazing. Time must be so messed up there :D It's all so interesting!
Cheers!

After going through the research paper I only could think of the theory that they constantly come from the outer edges of the inner galaxy, and are on their way to the centre. But the researchers are not 100% sure about it. They have calculated all these from the past data they had obtained from Chandra Telescope. We need to wait for some time to see the big picture! ;)
I am waiting for @lemouth to have a discussion with him as well on this so that there might be some other reason as well to which our hands haven't reached and who knows we can even know something new about it from him!
