AFAIR the batch register is used to sub-sample sensor data before queueing them
into the FIFO (please check st_lsm6dsx_set_fifo_odr()), but it does not refer
to the configured sensor ODR.
Looking at the device application-note [0], the temperature sensor ODR depends
on the accel/gyro one:

- temperature sensor ODR == accel sensor ODR if accel ODR is < 52Hz and the
  gyro is in power-down
- temperature sensor ODR = 52Hz if accel ODR > 52Hz or if the gyro is not in
  power-down
