No, unfortunately that leverage you refer to is related to something else... braking force is not impacted by wheel size except for the distance between the braking surface (ie the rim) and the actual road. So braking is reduced if you have big fat tyres and even more with disc brakes (which have a huge leverage force built into the pad actuators to compensate for this loss of leverage).
But that pic ypu posted - pretty! the pads are about halfway along the cantilever so probably not an issue.
