Do programs take into account timing of away rotators?

Obviously, someone doing their fourth away rotation in September will theoretically be a lot more knowledgeable and prepared than someone doing their first in June. Do programs take this into account when evaluating and comparing these applicants? It would seem very unfair if they didn't. Why would anyone do away rotations early on then, or put the top programs they want to match into as an earlier away rotation?
