This is just an hypothesis on my part, but if you are queued for multiple maps (or roulette), I think the system puts you in a queue for a specific one that it is trying to fill up and won't switch you around to another map unless needed. So in some cases, if it picks one that has a longer queue time, dropping and requeueing might put you in queue for another map with a faster time. Hence the impression that requeueing actually made it faster.
