So, unfortunately it's not clear what the criteria are from the
interface, or why a particular status is shown.

However, currently armhf-linux builds [1] are also looked at as well
when considering the status, so this probably explains what you've been
seeing.

Currently only 1 of the 3 ARM build machines behind the bordeaux build
farm are operating, which is probably not helping get these builds done
in a timely manor.
