Logically, no. The headings delineate the hierarchy of the document. Bullets delineate the structure of lists, not matter where they appear in the document hierarchy. If your style is to indent sections based on the document hierarchy, this is going to result in lists occurring at different indentation levels due to the position of the surrounding text in the document hierarchy. But lists are not part of the document hierarchy, they are part of the structure of the text, and as such they should be used consistently in text no matter where they occur in the document hierarchy. In other words, paragraphs appear at different indent levels due to their position in the document hierarchy. Lists are just a different form of paragraph and will occur at different indent levels in the same way.
