There's a very important reason to require more than one "No Action Needed" review to clear items from the First Posts or Late Answers review queue: spam.
Right now, all it takes is a single bad "No ...

What happens when a late answer is upvoted?

If I review a post in the First Posts queue, is it also removed from the Late Answers queue for everyone else?
I've looked at some late answers/first posts and their timelines, and it seems the answer is 'no'.
