Nope. A mass rebuild is done only when there is some reason to do
so. ;) 

In f11's rawhide cycle it was for sha256 hashes in rpms and to change
compiler options (i386->i586). 

In f12's rawhide cycle it has been xz payloads and (i586->i686). 

If there's a reason a mass rebuild will get done, but it's not a
requirement each cycle.
