I'd want to know the magnitude of the differences before I'd say there's no indication that the wheel is incorrectly built. If the spoke tension variation is more than 5-10% on a front wheel or drive-side rear wheel, there's a problem. NDS rear spoke tension may vary more, but if there's a 30-50% (or more) variation, especially on a new wheel, that should have been addressed and corrected during the build.
