No. Once each shelf type is cold, they remain that cold, despite the material. I think there would be a far greater chance that a substantial temperature change would occur because some food would be move in and out of the refrigerator. If anything, the wood seems like a poorer conductor of heat and would therefore contribute less to the temperature of the food.

I'm even less concerned about this issue, since the amount of light the food gets when it's not being observed is zero (or at least that's what Mr Schroedinger's cat tells me). The transparency of a wooden shelf in the dark refrigerator is a moot point.
It also helps that I'm an unfussy eater.
