No, your point is not made. The reason those guys are getting the high leverage work is because they're all elite level arms, who should be pitching with the game on the line. If they weren't dominant, they wouldn't be used in such high leverage spots.
There are set up calibre relievers who can dominate the WAR chart, but generally only if the 9th inning guy on the same team is there too. Otherwise, the guy getting the holds would very quickly be used as the closer.
