It seems that it might be actually be based not on the average time but the wait time of the person who is currently at the front of the queue.

In any case, I'm a situation where you need several people of the same role, the people who queued earlier have been waiting longer. If you sign up for an alliance raid as DPS #14, it could be perfectly accurate that the average of everyone else's wait time has been ten minutes - but it will only take one more person for your personal wait to be over.

Or to put it another way, the average is going to be a mix of people who waited for ages and that one lucky person who got an instant queue.
