Do defenders have to be on payload for it to move back?

On payload maps, the payload can reverse direction and move back towards the start. According to the Overwatch wiki (http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Escort), "The payload will roll back towards the start if no attacking players are near it." However, I have often heard defenders on streams say "I'm going to get on the payload to move it back." Is this necessary? Or are they just confused?
