It doesn't reset the hours, it's based on a 24 hour cycle. That's why you'll see it fluctuate throughout the day. I wouldn't mind the popularity system if they would just add in the old battle.net system along with it and somehow incorporate it to also apply it's time played to the popularity system. That way you could play what's popular or see what people are hosting and still have an effect on it's popularity.
You guys can blame this current popularity system on me. In 2010 I spoke with a few of the Battle.net devs at the blizzcon charity event and I convinced them to change it to this. Although I still think it's better than the previous version where it was based on how many times a game was played. All in all though the system itself is just terrible. It needs a complete overhaul. A map like this in it's current state (sorry Brave) isn't even deserving of page 3. There is very little to do and makes me feel like I've gone back in time to play Starcraft Broodwar. I honestly don't think Blizzard spends much time thinking about battle.net. If they do it isn't spent on custom maps.
