Why so few?   A lamb can yield about 15 kg of edible meat; divided up
at a kezayit each that can feed about 500 people.  So let's say 400,
and bring your numbers down by an order of magnitude.   7500 korbanot
over the course of five hours is 25 a minute.  Three kohanim might *just*
be able to manage that, if they had assistants to do the shechita, to
run the empty basins back to the beginning of the line, and to butcher
the animals and extract the emurim.  If Moshe remained a kohen for life
then they had four, which makes it a bit more manageable.

1. Korban Pesach was never allowed at a bamah.
2. In the midbar bamot were not allowed.
