Yes, it looks more the case of "we thought it's a high priority task but turned out it's not" rather than "we take a long time to do high priority tasks". I.e. maybe we need to have some rules around removing tasks from "High" if it's clear we're not doing it anytime soon.
More generally, if 10% of your high priority tasks take a year to finish, and 90% take a day, the median open task age will be around half a year (even though the median time to finish a task is a day). It's not really a useful measure.
