Did you run EXPLAIN on this query to see what it is actually doing?
What you are doing how is selecting all rows from the last hour, sorting them by mobid and hour, and then DISTINCT filters out al duplicates.
Sorting on mobid is therefor useless, DISTINCT still has to check all rows.
Sorting on mobid and hour will take a long time if there is no index for it, so if you don't have an index on the mobid and hour together then you should probably try that.
