I haven’t seen any of these players c/r in spots like this so I expected to see the turn for 15.

Yeah fairly common spot that I struggle with all the time. Everything is so face up - their top pair, your flush draw, etc. so it’s hard to win a lot when you hit unless there’s like 2-3 other callers where your likelihood of overflushing someone goes up significantly.
Interesting spot, I'm also perpetually in doubt as to how to handle these situations. I don't even know what is considered "standard": lead flop, check/call flop, check/raise flop?
I'd probably check/call here, hoping the turn will be checked through. I would not fold the turn though, even though our IO are likely very meagre (unless we're not the only one on a flush draw of course!). There's a third player who can come along and our ace might still be good.
