The Veterans will have more of an idea on what to do, so they already have a slight upper hand. If you don't allow newcomers to have ToTM like that, it discourages new faces to try here. When you're picking Staff, you don't pick from the Veterans of the community. You'll be more likely to pick them, but a new face is a good thing. It encourages other new people to be active. if someone doesn't join this wiki JUST because some competition isn't geared towards them, then they shouldn't be on the wiki at all.

2 people have the same amount of edits per month, let's say. one's a vet, one's a newb. logic says you vote for the one around longer, because they are consistent. Your logic applies to that situation. You said that they deserve it more. I'm saying that it's less welcoming. Now you have this scenario:

-New member, 60 quality edits in 2 weeks, is still going consistently. -Veteran, 14 quality edits in 2 weeks, has been going consistently for years.

Now after 30 Edits, they're both the same, but the Veteran wins because they've been there longer. That's stupid. The new member should have won because they were really helpful.
