No, because it is the best matching RRA for your query.

Ten to one that you are not specifying start and end times.

You ask for an implicit "--end now", which most likely is NOT
on a 30-minute boundary.  RRDtool will not select the RRA
containing 30-minute CDPs because you asked it to do otherwise.

echo You really do not want to do this
rrdtool dump yourdatabase.rrd ...
echo Really, you do not
vi yourdatabase.xml
[do your copying; each yank resulting in six puts]
rrdtool restore yourdatabase.rrd ...
echo See why\?
