For whatever reason, I have found that rotating the crank 180 degrees at a time will eventually get oil to all the rocker arms. Maybe it isn't the rotation, but simply the fact that I keep on turning the pump. ???
As the lifters rise and fall, they cover and uncover an oil port, so when the port is blocked by the lifter, it won't receive oil pressure, hence the rockers stay dry.
As long as there is oil pressure in the system, and the engine is being turned to uncover those ports, oil will eventually fill the lifters, go through the pushrods, and wet the rockers.
