Is it just my lack of mining experience, or does it seem that we tend to find higher percentage concentration ofresources on more difficult planets?
Naboo is the most ideal planet to mine due to it's terrain and low level mobs, but I don't believe I've found a concentration of over 65% ever, yet I recently mined on Lok and found Ore at 90%. Is this coincidence, or typical? (I have several examples like this, just naming one.)

What kind of ore?
In my experience from a long time ago (as a chef I didn't do much ore harvesting), ore concentrations overall tend to cap out in the 60s (maybe low 70s).
However, JTL added a few new resource types. These were specifically required in a few of the shipwright schematics, and were exceptions to a few rules. They only spawn on one planet per shift (other minerals can show up on multiple planets at the same time), are in-shift for longer than normal (I think 2-3 weeks, compared to 1-2 weeks for other non-JTL resources), aren't subject to the stat caps you get with related resources, and can spawn at higher concentrations.
I think the JTL ore was Fermionic Siliclastic. So if you're comparing a spawn of that on Lok with a spawn of (say) Zinsiam Carbonate Ore, you will see differences.
Other than those special classes of resources, I never noticed any difference between concentrations on various planets.

The 90% I just hit was Iron. I admit, Ore is never easy to find a good spot. But like I said, no hard data, more of a perception or just plain luck.

I don't believe there's any variation based on planet, type of terrain, etc. The planet description for Rori in the holocron (or at least in the paper manual I read when I bought the game way back) said that Rori is a planet rich in resources, but that doesn't seem to be reflected in the game. Just creative license on the part of whoever wrote the description.
Ore and Water are capped at 2/3 the value of other resources, except for JTL ore which can go to 100%. So if you're in need of generic ore, find out what planet the Fermionic Ore is spawned on, and find a high concentration of that ore there.
I prefer harvesting on the easy planets, only because I die less frequently. Tat is my personal favorite.
