This is not true. The current system has an unbounded wait time. For example, the effect of the Bug Squashing Party, which causes a bunch of uploads to be queued, forces "extra" priority packages to make no progress towards building, because all those optional packages shove right in ahead. This is true even when the "extra" priority package is fixing a severity critical bug, and the optional packages are fixing only, say, "important" bugs. As evidence, I note that gnucash is moving *backwards* in the queue, and as long as more uploads happen, it will continue to. Therefore, "just wait" doesn't actually mean that anything will happen.
