I tried in the Flooded District and you were right, it works. I'm not so sure it that's also true with the wall of light and the captive laborers in A Captain of Industry.

It sure makes sense in a gameplay perspective, but not according to the lore. We know the guards need to touch a charger before being in the vicinity of arc pylons and wall of lights. I can only assume they get some kind of magnetic field out of it, which keeps the devices from activating. Inverting the polarity would mean anyone with that magnetic field would then be a target to the devices, but any hostiles other than the City Watch or the overseers would be unaffected.
