Yes. A typical output is something like:
Automatic build of <package>_<version> on <host> by sbuild/<arch> <version>
Build started at <date>-<time>

Build needed 00:00:00, 0k disk space
for a package that has Architecture: i386
That's still a bit of time wasted, but it's not really bad. The really
problematic version is when a package is downloaded, build-deps are
installed, and /then/ sbuild figures out that some version isn't recent
enough.
