With the higher ISS altitude, and the lowest acceptable progress
altitude after launch, assuming worst case scenario for position of ISS
at progress launch time, how long would it take for the progress to lap
the station to get itself into the right position to raise orbit to ISS'
and dock without delay ?

aka: with the techniques used for the 6 hour launch-to-dock, what is the
worst case scenario ? 7 hours ? 12 hours ? 24 hours ?

If I recall correctly, it was reported it could be either a 6 hour
rendezvous or a standard 50-ish hour rendezvous, but there wasn't any
in-between.
