Yes, that's correct and not something our analysis has taken into account. Search crawlers are more likely to hit certain PoPs. If your content was less likely to be in one of those PoPs then you're less likely to have leaked data to one of them.
We also didn't take into account that the distribution of the ~6,500 sites that triggered the bug weren't even across our infrastructure. We distribute load for any site across some fraction of all the servers in any given PoP. Based on whether you're on a cluster of servers with more or fewer vulnerable sites you'd have been more or less likely to leak data.
For the general case the stats are directionally correct and, if anything, conservative (we believe, if anything, overstate the risk). But a particular customer's situation could deviate from the expected probabilities for a number of reasons.
