We reexamine, within the nonrelativistic constituent quark model (NRCQM), a recent claim that the current data on the strangeness form factors indicates that the uuds\bar{s} component in the proton is such that the uuds subsystem has the mixed spatial symmetry [31]_X and flavor spin symmetry [4]_{FS}[22]_F[22]_S, with \bar{s} in S state (configuration I). We find this claim to be invalid if corrected expressions for the contributions of the transition current to G_A^s and G_E^s are used. We show that, instead, it is the lowest-lying uuds\bar{s} configuration with uuds subsystem of completely symmetric spatial symmetry [4]_X and flavor spin symmetry [4]_{FS}[22]_F[22]_S, with \bar{s} in P state (configuration II), which could account for the empirical signs of all form factors G_E^s, G_M^s, and G_A^s. Further, we find that removing the center-of-mass motion of the clusters will considerably enhance the contributions of the transition current. We also demonstrate that it is possible to give a reasonable description of the existing form factors data with a tiny probability P_{s\bar{s}}=0.025% for the uuds\bar{s} component. We further see that with a small admixture of configuration I, the agreement of our prediction with data for G_A^s at low-q^2 region can be markedly improved. We find that without removing CM motion, P_{s\bar{s}} would be overestimated by about a factor of four in the case when transition current dominates. We also explore the consequence of a recent estimate reached from analyzing existing data on \bar{d} -\bar{u}, s +\bar{s}, and \bar{u} + \bar{d} - s -\bar{s}, that P_{s\bar{s}} lies between 2.4-2.9%. It would lead to a large size for the five-quark system and a small bump in both G_E^s+\eta G_M^s and G_E^s in the region of q^2<=0.1 GeV^2 within the considered model.
