There's always a lag, of course (computers aren't yet infinitely fast ;-). It's usually only a lag of a couple of days for 6.x, longer for 5.x since it's a "legacy" branch and not our main focus of activity. However the main FTP distribution server has been offline with hardware failure for the past week or two, so I can't push out any of the subsequent updates. Hopefully this will be resolved soon (it's also holding up the 6.2 release cycle).
