1/2 make trips but flush draw hits the river

I think this is a leak for me, but want to check. Stacks are $200 effective. Limped pot three ways, hero is in the BB with 62o no spades.
Flop ($7)
Board comes 6-T-Js; that is jack is a spade.
Hero bets $5 against two passive players, UTG limper folds, MP limper calls.
Turn ($17)
Turn is the 6 of spades.
Hero bets $15. Villain thinks for a few seconds and then calls.
River ($47)
River comes the 3 of spades and now the board is 6-T-J-6-3 with three spades.
What's my best line?

Unless the passive player backdoored a flush from a straight draw, I would tend to weight his hand towards top pair types.
The problem we have here is that a passive player probably doesn't bet the river with a hand we beat, so c/c is not a great idea.
I lean towards a bet/fold line of $35.

I guess that's why I'm curious about this street. If a passive player is never bluffing, and they are never calling a big bet because of the flush possibility. Is this a place to bet less than half pot?

Agreed B/F is the best play here. $30 seems like a good number IMO.

I probably just check the flop. We're OOP with 3rd pair in a nothing pot against two passives who probably won't bluff. I'd wait for more information before thinking about putting in any more money, probably just checking the hand down and folding to any bet.
Turn looks obvious.
River looks like an easy bet/fold to me. The passive player is checking behind a bunch of hands that would call a bet, so we can't check. And a passive player is never raising a hand on this board that we beat, so easy fold if we're raised, especially with the stack sizes being much larger than the pot. I'd probably bet/fold $30-$40 or so.

Confirmed leak. I checked and won with my trips after villain checked behind. Thanks for the feedback, guys.
