No, that would not be optimal. It looks at *all* the cards that are due/overdue, and then shows those cards first with the shortest interval. These tend to be the ones you are about to forget. For those with long intervals (e.g. 100 days) it doesn't really matter a lot if you review them exactaly 100 days later or 105 days, so these are lower priority.
