It is logical. This I/(2*pi*r) thing is valid outside the conductor,
all the current is used for the field. If you assume that your conductor
is infinitely thin then that's it. But real conductors have a diameter,
so if you integrate your cirles inside the wire you will only get
a part of the current , leading to I/(2*pi*r**2) (from my head).
Flat current distribution is assumed of course. 

This has nothing to do with eddy currents or skin effect, just the way
you integrate inside your conductor.
