Keep in mind that GNOME Software already only checks for non-security
updates weekly. So it will actually take as much as two weeks for the
update to reach users once it enters batched, which I suspect may not
have been intended. We are really looking at weekly updates with an
additional one-week delay. Probably you were intending to implement
weekly updates without that delay, which seems more desirable? If so,
coordination with the Software developers will be needed.
Also, if I mark a security update as low priority, that means it
really is low priority. There's no need for many security updates to
skip batched. Many are e.g. minor DoS vulnerabilities that are
unlikely to be exploited ever, let alone in the next two weeks. Of
course remote code execution problems should probably skip batched,
but those are unlikely to be marked as low priority. ;)

gnome-software really should follow what we ship, in what you describe
we have the potential of making some parts worse for users. because
there is a non null probability that users will lose the ability to
install deltarpms. I would really like to see us have a single unified
view on update management at a distro level and not having different
tools implementing their own behaviours.
