I think it's just a time marker. The afternoon Minchah was a daily
mandatory qorban immediately before the Tamid shel Bein haArbayim. (Just
as the morning Minchah was immediately after that Tamid.)

The only other qorban tzibbur or other avodah in Abayei's seder that
was done between chatzos and the final Tamid are the Mussafin and the
Vazichin. And we know Mussaf wasn't daily, and Vazichin -- setting two
bowls of levonah next to the lechem hapanim -- was only on Fridays.

GCT and :-)@@ii!
