I can confirm the behavior claimed in the OP happening.
Right ATM when I viewed the above question (again), and clicked at the Questions link, it wasn't listed at the homepage of Meta Stack Exchange.
I also noticed that this recently happens with other sites at the SE network.
I believe there must have been some recent change regarding the visibility of questions at the homepage (newestNewest at least).
I knew that behavior regarding the allover number of views for a question, and seen that for views less than 3 earlier. But this is new.
Especially since it seems questions appear and disappear from the homepage list arbitrarily.
Probably related observations (feel free to edit and add more):
