Unlikely. The show was uncharacteristically heavy-handed in showing us that the names corresponded to persons whom Jacob had personally visited and touched (specifically, the scenes from The Incident episode). Jacob was never shown to have touched Christian Shephard.

Oh numbers, you just love to prey upon us

This is true, but Kate was not on the list and Jacob came to her. We'll see what happens with that...

Yes. The show showed us that Jacob touched people who were on the list. Kate shows us that the reverse implication is not true (i.e. Jacob only touches/influences those whose names are on the list).
