No, they shouldn't.  Think about it.  If you're an attacker looking to
bypass this mechanism, what do you do?  You find the keyserver operator
with the lowest proof-of-work, upload there, and bam, they're propagated
to the high proof-of-work servers.

The proof-of-work required through the system is the *lowest* of all the
keyserver operators.
