The most likely answer is database maintenance and/or database updates required by code changes. While I am speculating we know that several servers share the same data base (either server or instance) and there have been times when server groups have been late coming back.

Quoted for truth, now that I've picked myself up off the floor. My ribs are hurting.

Summon raid bosses and pit them against each other in a massive deathmatch.
End off.

Untrue. Honor is currently calculated and granted immediately. Back when DR was still around and honor was granted only at certain intervals, it was done at ~3 am server time every night, not during maintenance.
Actually, back when honor was not a currency, they did the ranking during maintenance. Honor points reset to 0 every week, and you the standing you gained by the end of the week determined how far on the PvP ladder you would rise. To give you a perspective, it took 4 weeks of standing 1 (most honor gathered on the server) to reach PvP rank 14 from rank 13. Even if you did stand high at that rank, if it weren't above rank 10 you would actually decrease. This is why people with rank 14 were/are called no-lifers, because it would take 2-3 months of about 18 hours a day with PvP, and sometimes even longer.
However, queues were longer - meaning they could take short breaks of about 5 min to 30 min depending on the hour - and decent premades won a game in 7-8 minutes most of the time.
On topic:
The current maintenance do, as others stated, fix quite bugs on the server or battlegrounds. It resets the server entirely, and I am sure they do technical tests and stuff like that on the physical servers. I know instances where landscape has moved and allowed you to fall under it, or other unintended stuff. Important (quest) mobs have been evade bugged. Certain stuff just hasn't worked properly.
