A little. While I have heard it (from native speakers and non), it's less common. I also find it confusing because "least" can be interpreted as "lowest", or it can be interpreted in context of the following word: "common". "Least common" (meaning infrequent or most rare) changes the meaning to one different and misleading compared to "lowest", which is why I interpret this phrasing as sounding weird.
