Does this very interesting property hold for all maximal prime gaps?

I've been trying to understand a little bit better a property that I've noticed on the current list of maximal prime gaps on Wikipedia. It's as follows: $\\$

Problem

Let $g_n$ and $g_{n+k}$ be the $n$-th and $(n+k)$-th prime gaps respectively - both of them also being maximal prime gaps. Does the inequality

$g_{n+k} - g_n ≤ k$

hold for any two maximal prime gaps?

$\\$

EDIT:

I removed the restriction that I had earlier that there couldn't be any other maximal prime gaps between $g_n$ and $g_{n+k}$. This is so that the inequality applies to any chosen pair of maximal prime gaps.
