Why is it improbable? You're basing your assumption on what?
He's showing a lot of strength in a what OP describes as a passive game. I think it's safe to assume he has us beat in at least one direction if not both. If has a nut flush we're behind with no chance of winning the high so we're essentially calling for half if everything goes as planned?

IMHO SB has something like A5 or even A4 (hoping to spike a 3 or some other low card), a set or a mid flush he just doesn't want to fold. If he has the nuts in either direction I find it hard to believe he'd just call hoping to keep you both in the pot - *maybe* a weak-tight does that heads-up, but against TWO villains he's gotta be thinking get it in.
So, the CO has the nut flush, SB has a better low and we're still in the pot? I actually like your assumption he has a naked low. In this case I believe it's fair to assume the low is better than ours.

IMHO you're almost always going to win half of this pot, so folding is way too nitty. I can't decide which is better between calling or raising the flop, but I'm going to lean toward stacking off on the flop. You're not getting away from this hand so you might as well at the very least overcharge the SB to draw. If he's ahead of you, FML and move on to the next hand.
I believe you're very rarely winning half of this pot. Winning the half is the best possible scenario for our hero and I don't think it happens enough.
Calling flop is probably ok. I'm folding the turn.
OP: Were you all shallow? Or just CO? Were you and SB also all-in on the turn or did you had any money left to play the river?
PF call is questionable to say the least. I personally am folding.
