Welcome to the site.
Yeah, you are right, images with a release will take longer to review if it is a new release
a quote from Duncan (the head of Canstock)
in this threadOne thing I will mention that sometimes confuses people - is that when you upload a new model release, it must first go through it's own approval process with our legal team. Once the release is approved, then the related images will be released for inspection. So as a result, those first images with a new release may take a little longer to be approved, especially if you upload on a weekend. This is only for new releases. Video files also go through a different process and can take a bit longer.
