All A-Ranks spawn automatically. There is no hidden condition to cause them to spawn.
However, they have a cooldown period after they are defeated or after servers are restarted due to maintenance. Once the cooldown period has entered, its window opens. During this period, a hidden timer is set that determines when the A-Rank will spawn. The hidden timer is randomly set; it can be anywhere from right when the window opens to when the window caps. After the window is over, the A-Rank is considered capped, or "forced", and is guaranteed to spawn. There is also a possibility that the A-Rank was killed during the window without anyone knowing/recording.
Knowing how A-Rank timers work is helpful to know if an A-Rank is up so you don't waste your time searching for one that isn't up.
To view timers, select your Data Center. "Show A Ranks Table" should be selected, and from there you may filter down worlds/servers, expansions, and instances.
