No. The idea is to handle the upload from the home wiki, so to speak; the user shouldn't ever need to be directed somewhere on Commons.
Consider that we have four wikis hosted on a separate cluster and may expand this as time goes on. They'd need some way to copy the file back up to the central cluster etc. Doable, but it's not just a matter of slipping a few entries into a second database.
Personally, I'd prefer bouncing them to Commons, and having it bounce them back when they're done.
