Aircraft vs a lever

G'day all.

I recently saw someone say that an outer engine on a 4-engine aircraft will yaw the aircraft more compared to a smaller two-engine aircraft using one engine. They compared it to a lever in that it's easier to turn the fulcrum the further away you are from it. Is this all correct? Is this an accurate comparison?
