Is the following proposition correct?

$X_1, X_2, X_3$ are uniformly at random sampled from a finite set $\mathcal X$ without replacement. 
$f : \mathcal X^2 \rightarrow \mathbb R_{\ge0}$ is symmetric:
$
f(x, y) = f(y, x)
$, then:

$$
\mathbb E_{X_1, X_2, X_3} f^\frac{1}{2}(X_1, X_2) f^\frac{1}{2}(X_1, X_3) f^\frac{1}{2}(X_2, X_3)
\le ( \mathbb E_{X_1, X_2} f(X_1, X_2) )^\frac{3}{2}
$$

I tried to use Hoeffding's result
$$
\mathbb E f\left( \sum_{i = 1}^n X_i \right) \le \mathbb E f\left( \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i \right)
$$ 
($X_i$ are uniformly at random sampled without replacement, $Y_i$ are uniformly at random sampled with replacement, $f$ is convex and continuous) by combining two elements from set $\mathcal X$ to form a new set: $\{ ( X_i, X_j ) : i \ne j, X_i, X_j \in \mathcal X \}$.
However, the sampling process for new set is no longer uniformly at random so I cannot use Hoeffding's result.

Since items are sampled uniformly, this is equivalent to:
$$
\left( 
\dfrac{ 
\sum_{1 \le i < j < k \le n} f_{ij} f_{ik} f_{jk}
}{\binom{n}{3}}
\right)^2
\le
\left( 
\dfrac{ 
\sum_{1 \le i < j \le n} f^2_{ij} }
{\binom{n}{2}} 
\right)^3
$$

For $n = 3$, this is:
$$
\left(f_{12} f_{13} f_{23}\right)^2
\le
\left( 
\dfrac{ f_{12}^2 + f_{13}^2 + f_{23}^2}{3} \right)^3
$$
which follows from the inequality between the geometric mean and the root-mean-square:
$$
\left(abc\right)^{1/3}
\le
\sqrt{\dfrac{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{3}}
$$

For $n=4$, it is proved by https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/user/12908
$$
\left(\frac{f_{12}f_{13}f_{23}+f_{12}f_{14}f_{24}+f_{13}f_{14}f_{34}+f_{23}f_{24}f_{34}}{4}\right)^2
\leq
\left(\frac{f_{12}^2+f_{13}^2+f_{14}^2+f_{23}^2+f_{24}^2+f_{34}^2}{6}\right)^3
$$ 
which follows from
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{16}\left(abd+ace+bcf+def\right)^2
& = \frac{1}{16}\Big(a(bd+ce)+(bc+de)f\Big)^2 \\
&\le\frac{1}{16}\left(a\sqrt{(b^2+c^2)(d^2+e^2)}+f\sqrt{(b^2+d^2)(c^2+e^2)}\right)^2 \\
& \le \frac{1}{16}\left(\sqrt{(a^2+f^2)\big((b^2+c^2)(d^2+e^2)+(b^2+d^2)(c^2+e^2)\big)}\right)^2 \\
& =\frac{1}{16} \Big((a^2+f^2)(b^2+c^2)(d^2+e^2)+(a^2+f^2)(b^2+d^2)(c^2+e^2)\Big)\\
& \le \frac{1}{16}\left(\frac{a^2+f^2+b^2+c^2+d^2+e^2}{3}\right)^3+\frac{1}{16}\left(\frac{a^2+f^2+b^2+d^2+c^2+e^2}{3}\right)^3 \\
& = \left(\frac{a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2+e^2+f^2}{6}\right)^3
\end{align}
