No. The base system was uploaded at that time. Likewise, the package build was uploaded at that time. It says nothing as to when a compile was finished. Because of the way bulk packages are built, the whole tree is built at once.
So it looks like this:
Install new snapshot->build the entire ports tree->upload all packages
For really fast architectures it might only take a day to build all the packages and therefore packages have a good chance of lining up. For loongson it means the smapshot used to build the packages is already a month old by the time the final packages are uploaded. But development doesn't stop (and neither does making newer snapshots).
TLDR: don't expect snapshots and snapshot packages to ever line up for slow archs.
