Looking at the TLE's and Jonathan's image, I think we have a few days of coasting:…..

Nauka should be gaining 15.661-15.488 = ~0.173 of a revolution a day; if I'm reading the image correctly, it's is a little more than half an orbit behind, so at this rate it will catch up in somewhere around 3 days. Somewhat consistent with the next maneuver being on July 27th…..
