There are several genera of weedy yellow daisies like this in the CNM area, and the key to daisy genera in Plantnet is difficult. To make matters worse a lot of it is based on details of seeds. You need at least good photos of basal and stem leaves, if present, a side on photo of a flower, and a photo of the whole plant from the side. I can recognise several of them on sight, but this one stumps me.
I think you are right. I have never seen Podolepis looking as sad as these. Although now I look at photo 1 again, there is one flower at the top that actually looks like what I would expect of Podolepis. Given the width of the leaves, far wider than the maximum for jaceoides or hieracioides (25 mm) and the altitude, it has to be Podilepis robusta. https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/podolepis_robusta.htm
