I cannot reproduce this on 10.12.4. Do you have this OS version?
Also, are you talking about Zoom to Fit, or Automatically resize? (Zoom to Fit
is not a setting, it is a one-time zoom action).
Unfortunately, how the page is laid out, in particular when zoomed to fit or
automatically resized, is done by Apple’s code. We don’t influence it. Also,
ion 10.12, Apple’s code does the handling of the arrows keys to scroll. On
10.12 that basically does the right thing, and Apple has made it impossible to
override it because I have no idea anymore how they lay out scrolling views
anymore (they changed that fundamentally in 10.12.)
So I’m afraid you have to live with this. The only thing you can do is file a
bug report with Apple and hope they will fix this in future OS updates (note
that this is about PDFView in Apple’s PDFKit, not particularly about Skim).
