Unless of course the gate network sends a signal to Destiny to drop out of FTL before the actual connection / lock is made.
For my money?
I think the gate network keeps track, as in, the ships ahead of Destiny as well as the gates they pass. Quantum entanglement could allow for instantaneous transmission over incredible distances, thus it if possible they use that for coordination of the position of Destiny.
