I dont see how water would was away more sediment as it falls. I would also think that as if falls and the water pressure on the levees fall we would be in better shape.
I also don't understand the "need" to worry. As if that would help.

this is the way I think it could work
the levee in baton rouge is majority dirt, so for the month or so that the water has been covering the levee that dirt is getting very saturated. So when the water begins to recede the force of the receding water could break off small parts of the levee. But it could be to slow to do anything that would cause there to be flooding.
Its just like at the beach the water erodes the beach up to the high tide mark. Its alot different but the same general idea.
these are just guesses though.

You think the pressure exerted by the river will make the level stronger? Is that what you are saying?
god help us, you, if that is what you are saying.
