In A flyback SMPS.....

operating in continuous mode.

Is the secondary diode reverse recovery event worse (i.e. worse for EMC) when the diode turns off with higher current flowing in it?
 

Anything else would be surprizing. Assuming a constant recovery time, the emitted energy will be proportional to turn-off current.
