Summary
When you set a new version of an Island to active, it does not prioritize matchmaking into that new version as it used to in the past. If you were on version 40 and push version 41, it can take 30 to 60 minutes in order for you to load into that new version 41.
This seems to be a new issue in this last Fortnite update, previously you would load into a new version in under 10 minutes. Now, with this issue, players are loading into old versions instead of experiencing the new content and/or bug fixes right from when they release.
