How do I loop the function callback with a random delay in phaser 3?

So my Phaser 3 game requires to call a function spawn with random delay each time between 3s to 6s. Here is what I tried : 

Enemies = this.time.addEvent({ 
delay:  Phaser.Math.Between(3000,6000),  
loop: true, 
callback: spawn, 
callbackScope: this });

But this code does not works. The delay is chosen at random only once and then that value is used throughout.

You can see in your own link that there is a oneShot timer. You can use that inside the spawn function.

Now a new one-shot timer with a random delay will be created when spawn() is called. The timer then calls spawn() again...

function spawn() {
     let delay = Phaser.Math.Between(3000,6000)
     var timer = scene.time.delayedCall(delay, spawn, args, scope); 
}

spawn()
