There's a lot of conflicting things being said, so just to reinforce: *No*. Assuming seat tube angle, seatpost, and saddle are all the same, then frame size makes no difference as to saddle setback (the common term for the horizontal distance from the bb centerline to the saddle nose). As others have said, it is common that seat tube angle gets steeper (i.e., less setback) on smaller frames, although one of the nice things about Grant's frames is that they do not get as steep as in some other bikes, thanks in part to the use of smaller wheels such as 26" or 650b in the smaller sizes.
The most effective way to achieve more setback is changing your seatpost to something with more offset like the VO Grand Cru or the Nitto S-84 (my personal favorite). However, since such a seatpost moves your seat away from your handlebars, you will be increasing your reach, and if you already feel like you're a bit too stretched out (I think you may have mentioned this before), then this will only be worse with a large offset seatpost. In this case, a smaller frame (with the same seat tube angle), having a shorter top tube, may help you achieve both a rearward saddle position and a comfortable reach to the handlebars, *assuming you can get the handlebars high enough with the smaller frame (shorter headtube). * Bike fit's tricky because it's very holistic--changing one thing affects all of the other variables in question.
