SPARK PLUG ISSUE 2.5 ESCAPE

Today I was doing some basic maint on GF car as we both have the same vehicles they are 2012 escapes 2.5. I changed oil went with mobil1 extended synthetic and Mobil 1 filter. She has 56,000 on the clock so I did filter, cleaned throttle body, wiper fluid etc. While I was in there for the hell of it I pulled the plugs and to my dismay the 2 outer plugs were fine normal wear and tear but the two inner ones were all corroded on threads and if I can upload pic you might be able to see what I'm talking about. What concerns me is why the inner 2? On mine which has 26,000 on the clock at about 23000 ford did a warranty thing which entailed changing a sensor which is located between the two inner plugs because they said moisture got into it . I did notice that there is no sealing ring as in other plugs but the threads should not be this bad in my opinion but any info would be appreciated.
Well I have pic on desktop but cant figure out how to upload
anyone have a good way to clean the spark plug seats and get that crud out of there ??
