The very outermost 'flock' of Jupiter's satellites are likely not ever to have been close to Jupiter itself. The 'outies' are just barely held in orbit by distant Jupiter and likely drift off from time to time (due to influence from Saturn etc.) and others might 'drift' in and replace them.
Jupiter has quite a retinue of L4 and L5 Trojans and I'm thinking there's been some overlap amongst the outies and the Trojans. A given object in any of the 3 categories could not make a close approach to Jupiter itself without being 'expelled' from those 3 categories.
Jupiter is a bully.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
