On balance, yes. In the absence of functionality for returning info about superseded revisions, it is a reasonable fallback - *some* of the returned info relates to the page ID so is relevant and accurate regardless of whether the revision is current. But it would be even better if the revision-specific info were accurate or blanked instead of defaulting to the info for a later revision. And it certainly should not default to returning info about the main page if the revision does not exist.
