No, it won't. The rollbacks have nothing to do with your device, I'm on the latest iPad Pro, and the game still rolled back on me three times, once at Thomas' and twice at the flowers. It's a good thing I'd been burned before (collecting from 15 bushes of flowers after a rollback), so I knew to keep checking the goals before carrying out the tasks.
Regardless, I'm going to enjoy doing this event. I think it's great to add some South Asian elements into my queendom, and besides, the Diwali celebrations are on now
