Don’t mean to be a pedant but this might clarify in terms of definition of nearest . There are always many variables and considerations and I offer this only as an official FAA ( hence Boeing) definition nothing more.

FAA regulations part 121 sec 121.565 engine inoperative landing reporting

It states nearest suitable airport “ in terms of time “
