The consolidation only ended (relatively) recently though

We know nothing about Seanchan pre-Hawkwing. They may have had the Aes Sedai in the gene pool.
Also suldam are part of the pool, unlike Aes Sedai and Kin so they haven't shut them out.
So you may have had 2000 - 2800 years (the range covering up to the end of the consolidation) of full female involvement from the Breaking to Hawkwing that didn't occur in the westlands. And since then still non-Sparkers potentially breeding.
It may even have been that until Hawkwing's day that given the Aes Sedai there were busy contending amongst themselves, that they left alone male channelers until they became an explicit threat.

not that I disagree with you, but it is possible to breed out a recessive gene.

Channeling could also be used in repair/reclamation projects. That stuff tends to even out.

you'd think the Seanchan would have even lower numbers of channellers
