You have it backwards, but yes.

When I died at 47, I only lost a half bubble into 46. All my
friends who died at 46 said they lost over a bubble. That
indicates the exp loss at 47 is less than the exp loss at 46.

When I died at 31, I lost a half bubble into 30. When I died
at 30, I lost a quarter bubble. That indicates the exp loss
at 31 is more than the exp loss at 30.

Both of these indicate the exp loss at (hell level+1) is
greater than at other levels.
