The lower the chain revolutions, the more frequently each chain link engages the same sprocket tooth, so greater and more uneven the wear.
When changing sprockets, you can adjust Chain Links to maintain (nearest to) current Sprocket Centers (eg: to keep motorcycle rear wheel within adjustment range).
Check
Lock Centers and adjust sprockets - Chain links will adjust to maintain nearest to current Sprocket Centers.
