I found out this can happen near the "end" of a queue of a certain
priority. i.e almost all prio2 work is done for the 4 hour automated
request period.
Normally rejected Tiles go to the end of the queue.
A workaround would be to make clients wait a bit after putting work
back, while an actual fix would not be as easy, since that would require
more metadata, and metadata seems to be the current bottleneck, so good
ideas welcome.
