If you are ready with your raised bed frames then fill them as soon as you can even if it's a bit wet it will soon drain. Mix the compost in well as you do it. Then cover each bed with something like landscape fabric & allow to settle over winter & they will be ready for spring sowing/planting with just a light tickle of the surface.
Don't worry about wet topsoil!!! Just use it normally as and when you're ready.
