I'm pretty sure that the answer is no and a quick test on a small

enough about lucene internals and scoring to give a definitive answer.
Shouldn't be too hard for you to verify or disprove: build an index
and throw loads of updates and deletes at it, checking scores as you
go.
Actually, deleted docs do affect scoring for a time - IDF of a term is
not updated until you optimize (or when Lucene decides to merge segments).
