The lotto has never applied to any round other than the 1st, but I think after ~pick 20 I think it is probably rare that moving up 1 pick would change the guy a team ends up with. I'm sure the teams lists are pretty different by that point.

Edit: 1 pick being the difference for the last 2 draft lottos, I guess it it were moving up 5 picks every round it could make a big difference.
