materials drops better on deeper levels of a tier?

It's common knowledge that "more crown and heat drop at the deeper levels of a tier"... but do better materials also drop at the deeper levels of a tier?
Put simply, a 4-star material can drop in Tier 2... is it more likely to drop in the deeper levels of T2 than the shallower levels of T2? Does it ONLY drop in the deeper levels of T2? I don't really pay attention to materials drops/pickups until the end of a run's summary screen.
Thanks in advance!

Instead of thinking in terms
Instead of thinking in terms of tiers, think in terms of strata. Tier 1 consists of stratum 1 and stratum 2, tier 2 consists of 3 and 4, and tier 3 consists of 5 and 6. An n* material won't start dropping until stratum n (but there aren't 6* materials, so don't worry about that).
Pretty much yes. The further down you go, the likelier a higher star material will drop.
