The SA says "yekhavein lehispalel besha'ah shehatzibur mispallelim". Your
question is why the Rama -- or is the Semag, I couldn't find the citation
-- doesn't mention minchah.

I think the MB s"q 31-32 *implies* that the emphasis is on Shacharis and
Maariv since the solar landmarks vary the most, and therefore the minyan
is more likely to have their own idiosyncratic time -- late Shacharis
or early Maariv.

Tir'u baTov!
