Packages filter out to the mirrors depending on their configuration and the planets alignment, etc.
You can generally force yourself to get the updates quicker by sorting mirrors - most of the sorters have options to only return mirrors that have recently synced and/or are fully up to date.. but doing so while trying to follow the upstream Arch update as soon as possible may also result in a generally slower experience.
Maybe that mirror in Germany is the most synced right now. But you live in South America. You can switch mirrors to update right away .. but your latency will also quadruple.
Plus, if you’re one of the first to download, you might get a drastically low d/l speed—because everyone else tries the same at the same time.
It once took me 2½ hours (!) to download the latest Firefox update, just because I refreshed when it just appeared, and apparently thousands were downloading at the exact same moment.
This happens to me on occasion. I know every 4-6 weeks is the rec’d maintenance time (see tutorials including yours) but I mirrors and reflector and do the maint. etc about every 3 weeks now and the result is less scenarios like your original post.
