The definition is:

   If nextUpdate is not set, the responder is indicating that newer
   revocation information is available all the time.

I think 15 days is much too long.  I would suggest wording it more like:

If the nextUpdate value is omitted, the server SHOULD refresh the
response so that the thisUpdate field is no more than 24 hours in
the past.

and not place any requirement on the client; if the client wants
fresher information than the server provides, it can go fetch it
itself.
