Sorry probably poor wording on my behalf but my point was the minimum fuel call will not do anything for your priority. ATC gives you a landing time if you can make that well and good, if you can't you either have to divert or declare an emergency.

People have learned this the hard way. Diverted without the traffic holding only to be told to wait in a hold with very little fuel in the tanks.
