Yes, it was well established in the guidelines that the towers would "slope" with the tallest of the towers being on the western half of the railyards (it's why pretty much all of the proposals had the tallest towers on the east). Now, Related has been able to tinker with the guidelines before, but don't expect anything taller than 30 Hudson to rise here.

Of course this is all generalization, but it's the order things were intended to go, and it's why every render put out by Related shows shorter towers.
