This is ideal. They could have sat on it for a couple more days. Rudy's case is intentionally flawed to expedite it to the SCOTUS.
If they win in the lower courts, it risks only setting precedent in that state. If they take it to the Federal level and the highest courts it can be used in all the states as a precedent.
Part of Rudy's filing asks for the ability to add and modify the filings and affidavits in the appeal, which I think these Republicans granted. This means Rudy can hold back certain things and surprise the opposition with it during the only case that matters.
Keep in mind, this is all speculation though -- as well as being just one possible avenue to victory. There may be other plays they are pursuing and just dragging this one along as a smokescreen and diversion could be the tactic on this case. Much like in WW2 where allied soldiers would position dead bodies on hills and tie strings on them to bait out sniper fire.
