It appears so to me this is the case and the system decides whether it is a good question by number of votes the question it receives. Can someone please confirm thus?
The reason is that I got this question for a review check. It had 5 upvotes but I would close it as off-topic, thus I got a stop and pay attention message.
The thread Examples of poor review audits contains other such examples. Yes, the review audits are picked automatically, based on the data like score, post history (close/delete events) and maybe the number of views, who knows. The algorithm is not disclosed.
Naturally, decisions to close or not to close are not a function of question score. One can sincerely believe that a popular question should have been closed, and get blamed for not paying attention. This is neither more nor less than a little annoyance and loss of time.
For Close review specifically, I tend to open most questions in a new tab and hit Skip in review; then vote on the question directly. (This process can be streamlined by bookmarklets). E.g., "known bad" audit questions are already deleted, so I don't have to waste time picking a close reason for them. This also allows me to review more than $20$ questions from Close queue per day. (Cue meta outrage about exploiting a loophole.)
