I just assume this is because the number of players queued for a match isn't cleanly divisible by 64.
Sure you may end a match with 64 players that all get recycled into the queue, but what about the dozen other guys that were already waiting in the queue?
The guys in the queue first probably get priority. They 'took' your spot and you get to wait for the next train to pull into the station.
Of the 64 players that get dumped back into the queue at the same time I would be interested to know how priority gets assigned among those players. Random? Alpha numeric sort?

@AngrySquid270I can definitely understand the players in the queue getting priority, but it just seems odd that this just started happening to me right after the latest patch. It has happened before, but usually only once or twice, not every round.
It seems that everything is randomized, but I could be wrong, that is just how it feels. However, it would be interesting to hear how they do it.
Matchmaking has always been pretty broken.
Some rounds we start with 10 or 11 players on each side and it stays that way for the entire round and then the next and the next and so on.
It seems highly improbable to me that not one new player is looking to play in that entire time.
