This is close, but you need to realize that the packages will only be
available when they have been copied to all global distribution sites, so
the fact that the run has been completed does not mean that the packages
built on htat run are available. The time to distribute varies with the
size of the run and network performance. It has greatly improved during hte
past year as mirrors in some places are getting higher speed connections.

I should also note that pkg-status data only updates  the display on a
reload. Updates from the IPv6-onlybuild systems do update every 10 seconds.
