Air 2 Air

Have been watching on ADS-B numerous tankers flying racetracks north of Norfolk over the last week, I couldn't help notice that as the receiver arrives in what appears to be close proximity to the tanker before connecting, the receiver stops broadcatsing on ADS-B and then pops back up once fueling is completed whilst the tanker keeps broadcasting.
Any ideas, is this normal practice or just an issue with 2 aircraft being so close together that ADS-B cannot recognise the 2 seperately?
