Hey I think thats partially true :p
The post on digg would certainly come up fast because digg has lot more backlinks and its a high traffic website. Well thats just the background. That comes up in search faster because it gets crawled too frequently as compared to your original site.
Page rank is never the cause of anything but its an indicator of popularity as per google page rank algorithm (not search algorithm)
And if you use a keyword combination which is not available on a popular site then certainly you will be on top
but it would not come up on top the 2nd day or might come also depending on how often google would crawl your website.

However, I also have tons of articles that come up in page 1 SERPs just because there is some strange existing keyword combination that just does not exist on any other pages that someone happened to type in - that is when Page Rank is meaningless.
For instance, someone types "cat online community" and I get page one because I have the "Why Cats Love Milk" article and one of my listed recent posts have "online community" in the title on the cat article page. Thats how I get almost all my traffic - accidental keyword combinations resulting in page one results that add up to thousands of hits.
