No particular reason why a higher orbit is any better than a lower orbit. As long as you're a good 1000 kilometers away from the GEO belt at closest, and preferably a little inclined so that closest approach only happens ~2 times a day, both high and low graveyard orbits are equally good for avoiding collisions.
