A guy that would likely get picked up on most days, could sneak through when there is more choice for teams looking to fill gaps.

I agree. Plus, teams are probably more content with the players they currently have so aren't that bothered about waivers. They'll have their roster locks, young guys trying to make the team, PTOs etc. More than enough for the time being. But fast forward a month, 2 months etc and they'll be spots opening up due to injuries, form and so on. So a player that gets down now might not do in a few weeks time.
