It's so you can have agents that are less likely to take calls (e.g. imagine a sales queue, you'd have the sales people with no penalty, you might have the receptionists with a penalty of 1 and us propeller heads in technical support with a penalty of 2). The technical support people would only be offered a call from the sales queue if all the sales people and the receptionists were busy.
