Possibly. In my experience, other factors such as spend, history with Hyatt, and number of prior stays at a specific property seem to carry more weight. Perhaps your friend has been a Diamond member for a while?

I'm thinking that perhaps Ill make a note on the reservations when my wife is conducting her Diamond Challenge, that we are checking in as two Diamond Members. Perhaps the hotel does take higher note when two Diamonds are listed under the same reservation. With Fairmont we received top of the list priority treatment as two Faimont Platinum members, above other elite members.
