I know little of this. How/why could one be higher latency over the other?

Happy eyeballs is more to fix totally broke ipv6 than speed differential.
For many years and even how there are networks that advertise they can do ipv6 and hand out real addresses but nothing works.
tracert -4 google.com
tracert -6 google.com
I do get very different hops and latency.
However for “happy eyeballs” algo to fallback to IPv4, latency needs to be very bad on IPv6.
