Not quite, but you can set PreemptExemptTime which says how long a job
must have run for before it can be considered eligible for preemption.
In other words if that's set to 1 hour and there's a low priority job
that was submitted 55 minutes ago and a new high priority job comes
along it won't be able to preempt it for another 5 minutes.
You can set it on a QOS for instance so that different QOS's can
have different minimum times.

All the best,
