Actual upload.wikimedia.org requests account for (...checking) 46% of
the HTTP requests that hit Wikimedia's servers. That doesn't suggest
that the difference could be caused by external caching.

Not really: If they are counting inline images you should expect
wikimedia.org to get almost the same score as Wikipedia.  If they are
not counting inline images then wikimedia's traffic level shouldn't be
enough to get it on a top-sites list.

Wikimedia hosts by percentage of http requests with more than 1/100th
of a percent of the requests.
