Seems they designed it this way so that there's enough clearance for one to handle departures while the other handles arrivals with occasional go-arounds. Below diagram shows the missed approach path from B while planes are taking off to the southeast from C, but this could be flipped around with arrivals from the southeast on C and departures to the northwest from B.

Also note they are supposed to build a new terminal complex in the middle of the three runways.
