Depends on how they apply it; I can see it being used to make sure the teams they want to advance get the easiest draws, while a team that got no respect in initial seeding and wins a game or two doesn't get rewarded . Example say you're a #12 and win that first game against a #5; normally you'd get a similar game against a #4, but now they redo it and you're an #8 and get a #1 in the second round. Nice reward.
You have to keep in mind that these changes usually happen when power 5 teams want an advantage. I think this will be used to constantly be relegating mids to lower levels and tougher games as the tourney progresses. Mids start low usually 9's or lower, so after round 1 they'll be relegated to 7-8s and so on. They'll never get an easier draw no matter who they beat.
I don't think this is what you think it is. Maybe this attachment will explain it better. It doesn't mean that the brackets will be redrawn, but that the winning team gets to make a show of moving their name to the next round in the bracket.
