(Books Online description: “A query on object(s) in a readable secondary database of an Always On availability group is blocked on row versioning while waiting for commit or rollback of all transactions that were in-flight when the secondary replica was enabled for read workloads. This wait type guarantees that row versions are available before execution of a query under snapshot isolation.”)
