I do that occasionally. I had some early complaints where I was
overenthusiastic and the definitive data is non-metric. For example a
manufacturer defined horsepower value given second place to my converted and
rounded kW value. Giving a converted value higher priority than a precise
value does seem unreasonable.

I now only reverse the order when the metric value is at least as valid as
the imperial value.
