The catalog lags behind reality.

I would phrase it differently - catalog, at the time of its design phase, reflects the availability picture as of that time, which could change drastically by the time catalog is actually printed and delivered. There are some folks here familiar with printing process - they can tell approximate lead times for something to be printed on a scale that Lego has to do it.

I think your comments are right on (and match lagging too).  I doubt design and manufacturing talk that much together to strategically time the catalog even though they should.

 

Typically I would give it 60 days to design a catalog, up to 4 weeks to print bind and ship 1,000,000 copies if your not doing a rush job and your printing it regionally, longer if they are moving the 1,000,000 copies on a boat from Europe to USA.  They do a good job factoring everything they have to do but you are able to see they do not follow the policy of keep it in stock everywhere and build more if needed until the next refreshed catalog is fully distributed and then stop production of old sets.
