I can see your point, but, again, I don't think that's Kalish's fault.

And, in Gekiranger, Jan henshined last, and was brought into the team last. I think that Kalish is trying to make the footage make sense with the storylines by bringing red in last, or as an outsider, since a good portion of the early Sentai eps tend to revolve around the first group adapting to the inclusion of their newest member.

I will further expand that, though, to mention that in all of the above examples, not just Gekiranger, all of the red rangers henshined separately, and not as part of the team. Boukenger, in the last 4 Sentai series, was the only exception.
Besides, in any case, it's more of a writer thing than a producer thing.
The reference I made to the history of PR having the same pattern was to show that it's not exactly something new. It's been around since fairly early on (well, when they started changing teams, anyway).

Magiranger: first Henshiin -
