Sure. Is there a good reason why that takes precedence over every team having the leader first plus the leader's name being well-represented? It seems like none of the three are strict 'in-universe rules', but those two even separately seem more significant, do they not, than a single scene layout most viewers will never know about. Also: ruby/quartz mineral symmetry between two teams that narratively belong together.

It might also be worth mentioning that for every other team, the leader is narratively the most important at the time of first glimpse. I think: tiny exception for CFVY and Velvet, but they're not an important team so far. Narratively, Qrow's team is arguably an exception: Summer is very arguably more narratively significant /right now/, yet not the leader. Other considerations could influence the choice of first team photo layout, is what I'm getting at. It's not a superbly strong condition.
