Pardon my ignorance, I’ve never been behind the scenes on the updating side of things. It’s a new updater every week it seems like now.

Aside from what Gcool already stated, it makes it so if an updater has something happen and are unavailable for a weekend, teams aren't left in limbo of unclaimable status. Not every updater has the same amount of time to dedicate to the task each week and not every week is equal in terms of updating a team easily. This past weekend had Regressions, Equipment purchases, Call-ups, and many people who only update monthly or seasonly coming out of the woodwork. I would say on average teams that would take me 1 hour to get through normally, took 2-3+ hours this week. That's not to talk about the variance in a team with 13 beefy updates versus a team with 3 updates of just AC and Training.

Part of the current delay is that an updater can only claim 2-3 teams on Saturday for 24 hours at noon. Then on Sunday at noon there is no limit. That is when some of the more active updaters return to help finish off whatever teams are remaining. I believe the intent of this rule is to allow all updaters a chance to update regardless of if they are available at noon on Saturday or say 9 pm for example.
