Actually no. The talent level amongst players within the Negro Leagues ran the same spectrum as the main Major leagues, with a couple super starts, large number of great to good players and a huge pool of nobody's. For a number of seasons between 1955 and 1970, the main years Negro league players participated in the major league, there were some outstanding players who came over from those Negro Leagues, a few of whom made it to the Hall of Fame no less.
So to briefly answer your question, there was no difference in talent levels between the 0 based nation and the 5 in terms of the talent pool. OOTP populated them with talent equally.
I will be posting the league files to the Web when I post my Dynasty Report on a 1973 expansion club so you can see what I'm talking about.
