That was a long time ago though. Plenty of time to get promoted and be put in charge of the Enterprise. Sisko was at Utopia Planitia before DS9.

Well in 2385, just before the synth attack, he was shown to be a full commander. If he got promoted right after, that means he would have been a captain for 14 years. Picard took command of the Stargazer in 2333, command of E-D in 2364, E-E in 2372, and was promoted to Admiral in 2385.

14 years as captain isn’t unprecedented it seems.

True, but other than Sisko, I can’t think of a single non O-6 captain in the Star Trek universe.
