I knew I had written about it already. https://mathmosis.substack.com/i/53118467/assortativity
"The Lightning Network exhibits high disassortivity, which is intuitive given that many nodes are user nodes with few channels. These nodes are more likely to connect to well connected nodes than to ill-connected nodes. On the other hand, BA models exhibit a neutral assortativity."

What you're describing is assortativity, which I haven't analyzed personally.
But maybe I'll write a synopsis of this paper
