Sieve script need often mail header data to make its check.
This means the mail was already accepted by LMTP when sieve script run.
This means probably "no" to your question.

Anyway your question is not without interest,
but add such a feature add some problemes like what to do at
each retry of the  SMTP ? Run the same sieve script again and again on the same
piece of mail until the quota let it in?
