The service wait script for mongo attempts to use the mongodb client to check if the server is up yet. However at the point that it runs, the client is not yet installed. Because we redirect all output to /dev/null, the error is just silently swallowed and we sit there waiting for a successful run until the max timeout is reached.
Instead we install the mongodb client before the pulp module tries to trigger the service-wait. Now after the journal file is created (which takes a few seconds) the installer will resume much more quickly and not show any mongodb errors.

Fix mongodb error waiting for service.
