Q: Is there a delay for iTunes season pass holder's for TV shows?

I got a email saying the a download was available for the lastest episode of a season pass I purchased for Mad Men Seaon 6. When I go to itunes it says I have no new downloads (yes I'm logged in). The episode is available up on itunes, however, so not sure why its now available to me. Is there something wrong with my auto downloads or is the episode just not available? If its the later, its absurd that season pass holders don'''t have access to new episonde the same as when they are available on itunes, if anytthing we should have priority.
