Doing that will change the global value of
switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point.  If you're okay with doing that,
why bother with gnus-summary-mode-hook at all?  Just set the user option
once and for all.

Alternatively, if you want to localise the change, you can instead:

(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq-local switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point nil)))
