If you did the capture on the switch by capturing the VLAN rather than just the port connecting the F5 then you might be seeing the same ARP packet multiple times as it's forwarded to each relevant port in that VLAN. I'd suggest you fine tune your capture somewhat by restricting the capture to the ingress port or making it more verbose so it displays the VLAN and port the packet is seen on.
