You are using \footnotemark and \footnotetext. I tried this with basic 
LaTeX and both footnotes have 2. Obviously and apparently , these two 
commands cannot follow the numbers. Probably \footnotetext has to follow 
\footnotemark.

Try this in LaTeX and you will see all the footnote numbers are 3.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

     Testing footnotes. I'm writing something here to test \footnotemark 
several features. Testing the second \footnotemark and third \footnotemark.

     \footnotetext{First footnote}
     \footnotetext{Second footnote}
     \footnotetext{Third footnote}

\end{document}

But if you try this one, everything works fine:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

     Testing footnotes. I'm writing something here to test \footnotemark 
several features.
     \footnotetext{First footnote}

     Testing the second \footnotemark
     \footnotetext{Second footnote}

     and third \footnotemark.
     \footnotetext{Third footnote}

\end{document}

So, this has nothing to do with LyX. Why don't you use \footnote instead 
of \footnotemark and \footnotetext?

I am guessing that tcolorbox does not have an automatic page break as 
you would expect. I recommend you look at the manuals of tcolorbox and 
stackexchange pages such as this one
