>high latency between nodes rather than latency between the sender and the system

Yes, that's what I meant. To clarify, latency between the sender and the system would still not be an availability issue, but it also wouldn't be a partition. It's just out of scope of the CAP theorem. The user might be on a bad mobile connection, but it doesn't impact the distributed system itself.
