Did I ruin my Queue with an Appeal?

I just started reviewing on Wayfarer a few weeks ago. I guess making an account was a requirement for getting submissions approved because literally within an hour of joining a submission I'd made two years ago was immediately approved. Since then I've had two more nominations approved. This always happens within an hour of hitting my next level/upgrade.
However, my 4th submission was rejected and with my limited knowledge I chose to appeal it thinking it would just go back into voting. I know now I should've just resubmitted it. I think it's pretty cut and dry that it's an acceptable stop and will likely be accepted eventually, but it has been sitting there as "Appealed" for several days.
The 5th nomination after it is also in the queue and upgraded, but this time it wasn't pushed into voting. As I said previously any time I hit my next level my next nomination seemed to immediately enter the voting process. Have I ruined that smooth process by creating an appeal? Will nothing be voted on until that appeal is complete? Just curious.

Appeals don't effect things going into voting.
If you only started reviewing a few weeks ago, you may not have an upgrade. Having "upgrade next" selected doesn't mean it is upgraded. You have to earn the upgrade.
It is coincidence that your 2yo nomination got approved right after you signed up to review.
Well they both say upgraded on the nominations. Both the appeal and the new nomination.
If the fifth submission was quite recent (in the past couple of days), you might have to wait a couple more days for it to go into voting. In my experience, upgrading an older submission will immediately push it into voting (and I'll get a reply within 3 hours in the US), but fresh submission can take 2-5 days to go into voting, even when upgraded.
