You're wrong, because the local-premount is called *after* local-top actions.
See:

$ grep Running /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/locals
        [ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_begin_msg "Running /scripts/local-top"
        [ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_begin_msg "Running /scripts/local-premount"
        [ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_begin_msg "Running /scripts/local-bottom"

The cryptsetup is called in local-top, the rootdelay is called after
local-top and before local-premount. It is too late for cryptsetup!
