With fewer targets to hit, the likelihood of top galaxies being put up also goes up, perhaps only half the planets most of the time due to naps and politics, but still an uptick in total incoming.
This is incorrect. Plenty of alliances struggled to hit top galaxies last round. Because of galaxies having more planets, it means they require more fleets to cover them. Lots of alliances have smaller tags this round, consequently meaning they have fewer fleets to cover attacks.

Therefore:
More fleets needed + fewer fleets available = less incomming for top galaxies.
