It's fine the way it is. Otherwise, I'd flick 40 extra balls to the side and then capture a 10CP Pidgey for crazy XP. This is especially exploitable by individuals by pokestops that often max out their backpack.

I could maybe see an argument for rarity of pokemon affecting XP, but no based on performance while capturing a pokemon.

On a side note, a pokemon fleeing giving you XP might be an ok consolation prize. It's not like you can do that on purpose. Missed pokemons don't cause a pokemon to flee I believe. Just failed capture attempts.
