IIRC, Arch isolinux/isolinux.cfg should say:
DEFAULT loadconfig
LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG /arch/boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg
APPEND /arch/
Or it might be using relative paths:
DEFAULT loadconfig
LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG ../syslinux/archiso.cfg
APPEND ../
Or it might skip /boot/, to use /isolinux/ and /syslinux/ (no parent
/boot/ directory):
DEFAULT loadconfig
LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG /arch/syslinux/archiso.cfg
APPEND /arch/
My point is, I think you should be seeing an 'APPEND' line too in
that isolinux.cfg file.
Additionally and FWIW, I don't know if the Arch ISO image you have is
using exactly the same Syslinux package version available right now
from Arch Linux (6.02-6 is less than a week old).
