I can't tell you a definite reason that it's happening, but I can give you an idea. Seeing as I'm on a satellite connection, when I SSH to my server and reattach to my screen session, my satellite sometimes will stop receiving data for about 30 seconds or so from my server. What this does to the process inside the screen session is basically cause it to wait to send more of what it prints out to the console to my SSH session. In essence, the srcds process is waiting on my client to catch up and has nowhere to send the data. I'm not the best at explaining things in simple terms, so forgive any part of that which may be an inaccurate representation. Anyways, usually if my satellite lags for too long, it will drop most of the clients on the server not long after my terminal catches up. Perhaps there is something constantly attached to the screen on the server that is causing it to hang and wait to output more data. If you're constantly leaving a SSH session attached to the screen, perhaps you should consider only doing so when you need to view the console. A program like HLDS would also be a great alternative to monitoring from the actual server console. If this is not related to what's happening on your servers, just disregard this message. Now that I read it back over, it barely makes sense to me, but I hope it's of some help to you. I'm too tired to edit this.
