While it'd be ideal to shorten the respawn delay times of already dead players when the value of this CVar is lowered, the way that the respawn system works in Zandronum makes this a bit complicated to do. I don't think server hosts change this CVar frequently, if at all, let alone use incredibly long wait times, that this would be a problem though. So, it's probably not worth the effort to try improving this.

I see. The reason why I made the suggestion was in case there ever would be a way to decrease the seconds before respawning when your teammates kill other players.
Doesn't it work like this in many modern games? Whenever your team manages to kill players on the other team, you spawn +2 seconds faster for every kill made.
