ngx_event_expire_timers() doesn't care about delta at all.  It uses absolute
time and all timers have an absolute time when they have to be triggered.
The function triggers all the timers with absolute time less or equal than
the current time.  This delta check is just an optimization.

I suggest you to read the code of the function.  It's hard to understand the
logic, if you read only the part of it and don't have the whole picture in
the mind.
