Are you sure that this is not high channel utilization or other RF issue? It may be a client driver thing, could be related to power saving (try to disable that).
Do you know if the clients are actively used when the ping times go up? Or if they are in fact heavily used?
Note that ping can have the lowest priority, and ping times may go up but other protocols are prioritized and still have good response times. In practice, ping is easy but probably the worst method to test performance.

Subject: Ping Latency Increasing Regularly with Thin Client
Hi all,
We are testing some Dell Wyse thin clients on our WLAN and noticed an interesting pattern with the ping responses when all other connection details are very good (client health 99%). During our pings, we see them start low (5-15ms) and each response after that increases by about 20ms, until it hits around 100ms and then drops back down to 5-15ms and repeats. This is pretty consistent, we've tested at different locations with the same result. I've tested other devices on the same SSID and AP and they remain consistent with about the same latency the whole time. Here's a brief example:
