Nope! It doesn't work that way; each card is scheduled independently of others. You're not going to see other cards less due to seeing one card more.

Busting through leeches just adds to the workload; you still spend all the same time on the other cards.

(Even if you set daily limits on reviews, that just causes a backlog.)

I was referring to the mental energy spent on busting through that leech, not anki's system.
