Yeah. The main problem with keeping a space station at a stable orbit above Earth is friction with the atmosphere.
There might be small adjustments that need to be made where Earth's atmosphere is almost completely negligible but there are fewer forces degrading the orbit and there's no immediate threat of crashing into a planet if the adjustments aren't made in time.
