Measuring leakage current in a capacitor

In my research about measuring capacitor leakage, manufacturers of electrometers (or other high input impedance devices) say that you must supply the capacitor with a constant voltage to measure Rleak and it will subsequently decay over time. My question is why should a constant voltage be applied and why would this make Rleak decay?
