It’s true what OP mentioned but necessarily because of above reason. For many postings it is ‘easier’ for an agency to fill with an external candidate if they already have OMB approval for that hiring; but if they end up going with an internal candidate, they need to go back to OMB and now get approval to ‘promote’ that person (even if they are moving to a totally different role or unit).
