If the user is navigating using the keyboard, their magnified view wil lfollow their keyboard focus, so assuming the banner is visually at the bottom of the page, but structurally/in focus order comes at the start of the DOM, then this won't be an issue for these users. The only issue here may be users that navigate with a mouse and use screen magnification, yes. But that issue specifically is not covered by WCAG. Of course, you can go above and beyond the normative requirements, and if you feel that the banner should also be visually at the top of the viewport, then by all means go for it...but not doing so does not fail WCAG.
