Not inevitably but probably, because a stricter SLO introduces higher logistic optimization constraints. Those constraints are targeted prioritizing low costs and don't care about higher human-labor inefficiency.
For example, have more personnel more evenly distributed throughout the city, but they'll have more wait-times between deliveries. Is that wait-time paid for? Usually not.
A more relaxed SLO gives more room to aim for efficiency (bundling deliveries, sequencing routes) and thus it's easier to justify hiring someone full-time and in a stable and predictable work relationship.
