I could be wrong, but it seems like the spawning of Worldsoul Motes are connected to Worldsoul Memory Event.
Today the event is in Azj-Kahet and now they spawned there, but not in Hallowfall.
Yesterday it was lots in Hallowfall while the Worldsoul Memory event was in that zone.
Quest
Worldsoul: Snuffling
A World of Warcraft quest in Isle of Dorn. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

This is a great quest for farming weathered crests - as in Dragonflight, the motes give 1 or 2 crests every time you fly through them. You'll get a minimum of 45 by doing this quest from the motes alone!
It looks like the motes cluster in a certain area, and it changes - yesterday, on EU servers, it was Hallowfall, this morning it was the Isle of Dorn.
EDIT: And the disturbed dirt is readily found in the keyflame area of Hallowfall, it's purple rocks on the ground. When you dig into them you can get anything from another object to loot (a waxy lump), a random monster (which drops loot similar to a minor treasure chest) or even a bug-squishing event.
If you can't find worldsoul motes, you can abandon the quest and accept other worldsoul quests.

Description
I've wanted to be able to explore beyond Hallowfall's caves for so long now. Of course, I hardly have time, but when I do... there's such surprises everywhere! Treasures, friends in need, foes great and small... All so wonderful. I'll just have to live vicariously through you. Deeds need doing! Go out and seek the surprises in every nook and cranny. I'm certain you will find things that need doing!

I've heard some reports of the goings on in Azj-Kahet. Nerubians have killed my people mercilessly since we arrived... it is very difficult to imagine them as allies. But... I understand feeling... different from the rest of your people. Perhaps these nerubians who have interest in us are also...
