Can't comment on your exact experience, but low-priority queue doesn't happen from just one dropped game.

i can put screenshots from opgg with the last 33 games history not 1 single afk or leave except the one from today that's why i'm mad about it

It's a lot more than 33 games history that leaverbuster looks like. Leaverbuster is a compilation of all of your afk/leave tendencies over the history of the account. While older infractions weigh less than more recent, they all count - the system allows you to drop old infractions off, but only after a lot of time and games of not leaving/afk. Thus, it's likely that previous afk/leave, even from a while ago, played a role here.

This happens because you likely left your client open (even in the background or on the login screen) for an extended period of time. At least, that's what happens to me.

To avoid this issue in the future, you should always restart your client before beginning play after a period where you were away.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. If you leave the client open (not technical terms I'm going to use, just my experience) it can go into a "dormant" state where it won't try to communicate with the server frequently. Then, when you come back and start up a game, it communicates, realizes you need a client update, and says "ok let's do it now".

That's not definitively what happened, but I'm just trying to share my experience to help you.
