I have seen lower sequence logs complete archival after higher sequence logs. Usually coinciding with some sort of I/O bottleneck where multiple archiver processes are competing for limited bandwidth. I have not seen any sort of log corruption as a result of that process though. If the logs are identical on both the primary and standby, (use diff to verify) I would suggest doing another backup. Because if that archived log is corrupt it will put a keebosh on your restore. If you used rman for your backup, I am pretty sure you can verify that your archive logs will restore properly. Of course if you can't recover your standby it will have to be resynched as well.
