We've received calls at midnight, 3 am, during the day.
It doesn't make a difference as to how long they stay. Some can stay a few days, other several months. It just depends on their case, just like all other foster situations.
We are never required to accept whatever they call us with, so I'd make sure with your agency. But we'd only get calls for the age/sib amount we wanted, so we'd always say yes anyways.
I do agree that you're more likely to get placements this way, and this is the way to meet more workers and network.
