No it doesn't, because the top 4 picks are determined by the lottery, and even the team with the top record can fall out of it. After the lottery rest of the spots are determined by record, and thus the team that finishes last is guaranteed at least the FIFTH spot (if it falls out of the lottery), the team that finished next to last the SIXTH, and so on... but my point is that the difference between 5th and 6th is much less relevant than the difference between spots in the top 4, so I'm not overly concerned with that as I'm with finishing in the bottom 3.
