I can tell you one reason that it made a lot more sense that G5s were released at WWDC, rather than anywhere else. At their own conference, Apple can easily provide labs and workshops for programmers to get their hands on the new hardware and be shown some of the new features and options they could enable to enhance their products.

NAB is going to be Shake, FCP, and maybe some software revisions, but I don't see there being a G5 revelation there, unless it's going to be the 3.0s coming four months early. It's just way too short a product cycle to introduce a bump now, and then announce again in two months and deliver in three to four.
