My interpretation based on voice recognition, it was the Fedex pilot that called abort, which seems highly unusual.

Regarding the static engine run-up requirement, if 737 procedures require such a delay in take-off, it seems inappropriate to accept a take-off clearance knowing the arriving aircraft is called on a 3-mile final.
