The diagram above indicates they should be on that line like the other four.

Just curious.

You move them so no one runs into then and you have to rule someone out of bounds unnecessarily. I am a back judge and my concern is not with me running into them, my concern is that a player runs into them. And many of the pylons are not very straight vertically, and a player might run into one without stepping on the line.
