Well - not always...

There are often cases where something doesn't display properly or 
doesn't quite have the desired representation on a particular map and 
sometimes people are tempted to change the data to something that is 
"wrong" so that the representation of it on a particular map is more 
what they want (see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer).

In this case however the data IS wrong in the sense that the 
admin_level's already on the relation, so it does make sense to change it.

Cheers,
Andy
