That's largely true from the perspective of the team being placed in a particular pot, but it still matters for the competition as a whole. For example assuming the picrel situation tomorrow, whether one draws Palace or Rovers from pot2 will have big implications.
It may be advantageous to be an unusually strong outlier in a pot strength-wise, since you're guaranteed to face a weaker opponent, while making their overall chances lower as well.
