He might find the other dogs intimidating or too distracting so the crate is a good idea and even better if it's in another room so the dogs can't see each other. But I agree with Marko, 15 or 20 minutes and the food is not eaten take it up and present a new meal at his next feeding time.
How often does this happen? Once in a while, say maybe once a week, a missed meal is not something I would worry about. Are you still feeding the same amount he got as a puppy? After finished growing they don't need as much food.
I lie, I would worry but my dog is a Lab and he'd eat till he burst. Some dogs are smart and self regulate their intake, maybe your little boy is one.
