If we assume the worst case scenario and Awai will win on the next turn she declared her double riichi. It is impossible for Saki to get a rinshan kaihou before Awai wins. This is because of the 5-6 shanten that would prevent it. Saki can get her rinshan kaihou in one turn when she is around 3 shanten. So 2 turns must pass a the very least and then Saki can rinshan all she wants.

Of course this assumes the worst case scenario and it is possible that Awai get normal draws after her double riichi meaning it is not guaranteed she will win next turn. That would make Saki's job easier though.

That is also possible but as you've noted it is very similar to Teru. Oh well... at least well find out what Awai is about next issue.
