The reason for discrepancy is that FactorInteger[j/3] and FactorInteger[k/3]
might both not have any factors of 3, thus Replace would fails to add the two
instances of 3.

factorCounts[1] = factorCounts[2] = factorCounts[3] = {1};
factorCounts[4] = {2};
factorCounts[7] = {3};
factorCounts[k_Integer] :=
 If[EvenQ@k, factorCounts[(k + 2)/2, k - 1],
  factorCounts[(k - 1)/2, k + 2]]
factorCounts[j_Integer, k_Integer] :=
 Switch[GCD[j, k], 1, Join[FactorInteger@j, FactorInteger@k], 3,
    With[{r =
       Replace[Join[FactorInteger[j/3],
         FactorInteger[k/3]], {3, s_} :> {3, s + 2}, {1}] },
     If[MemberQ[r[[All, 1]], 3], r, Join[r, {{3, 2}}]]]
    ][[All, -1]] // Sort
