Worth what reward? Once an HFT firm buys a security, they now have to sell it again. Or vice versa if they sell a security. Do you think they earn a profit on every trade? There is risk in every trade, sometimes they overpay, sometimes they underpay.
It makes no material difference to the profits of a buy and hold investor. If it did, buy and hold investors would not trade with HFT firms.

The liquidity provider reward or index/underlying arbitrage reward, etc. Yes there is a stochastic component and various other things, I'm only talking about the edge from lower latency.
