Probably an issue with AppStream and multiarch not being compatible at time... I designed a spec extension for that and did some code changes, but this stuff didn't receive enough testing yet so it isn't enabled in the LTS. There are also quite some corner cases which need to be addressed before this can be activated. A workaround would be do ship a dedicated AppStream snippet for Skype manually.
