Not necessarily no. The arrangement of the planets in our solar system today came about because of the nature of the protoplanetary disc as the sun was being formed. They have basically been continuing in the same orbits for 4+ billion years. I'm not sure of your question is more about orbital mechanics or the history of formation side of things
