Not necessarily. The swarm of May applications took place because many FSWP-2013 people didn't manage to fall within the 300 cap, hence when CIC announced (and rather unexpectedly, to say the least) the new intake on May 1, they were almost ready to go, having complete packages at hand. But this is just one side of a story. For instance, I didn't apply last year, and had to start from scratch. And although I acted as fast as I could, it took me two months to gather the documents and submit the file. So, this far we have only seen the early beards, and there should be an avalanche of applications coming in July, or so it seems.
