Orbital mechanics folks...why does the ISS reboost matter?

Can someone explain to me why flight day 3 docking opportunities are
available only every other day right now (7th, 9th, ...), but would be
available every day if the planned ISS reboost is completed? Is it
just because the ISS would be a little bit slower after reboost?
