No, you'll get more for your Israeli shekels if you sell when the Israeli shekel buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Israeli shekels, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Israeli shekels you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 6.0297 means you'd get ₪ 6.0297 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Israeli shekels you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Israeli shekels, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Israeli shekels you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 6.0297 means you'd need to sell ₪ 6.0297 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Israeli shekels, you need to divide the Israeli shekel amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
