Well yes, that's the whole point - at least as far as the shaper is concerned. Ingress mode is supposed to deal with the case where inbound packets have already traversed the bottleneck link *before* Cake gets to choose what to do with them.
But that shouldn't affect fairness, only total throughput. Fairness is not handled by the shaper, but by the (very) extended DRR++ algorithm.
