Why does it help to have been used in the past 6 months? Do they do ongoing checks while it's in use? or do they just think somebody who's been doing a cleared role lately is ipso facto less of a security risk?

They are allowed to if the job is expected to last for less time that it would take to gain clearance.

Officially it should only take 6 weeks for clearance to be sorted, in practice I believe it tends to take longer.
