He's never had a dire situation like Ren. I've seen it argued that his trigger with Cardin wasn't the fact he was being beaten up but the idea that Cardin would go after his friends. It makes me wonder if the aura colors have a deeper meaning or have different triggers. I still don't see how this doesn't make it implausible. Ren unlocked his immediately and was able to use it twice in short order. He did that supposedly without understanding it at all. Jaune may not be well-versed in Aura and Semblance, but he probably knows more about it than Ren did at the time first used hi Semblance and Jaune has been in plenty of situations where it would be helpful to discover his Semblance. To me this really needs some sort of in-universe explanation.
