in short, they save fuel/money at the cost of time.

Instead of going to ISS directly, they have put the Dragon to some cheaper point in the space with some speed vector. After that, it will turn around Earth multiple times, until the orbits of the Dragon and the ISS are closer.

But it's very short and partially incorrect (as they may also have a few correction boosts)
