Having the cream of the crop leave for major metro areas may not immediately benefit the state, but it does benefit the university once those graduates rise within their professions. They can donate to the school and provide opportunities for future students and graduates.
Taking excellent students from other states is almost always a good idea as long as the university is still serving students from its own state. If an Arkansan student isn't good enough to compete with out-of-staters who want to attend UA, there are plenty of other schools in the state they can attend.

It's not a big deal.
Many (Myself included) left for bigger markets but I fully plan to come back at a much higher salary and most likely raise a family in NWA.
NWA will still hold onto quite a few but those that want to get out and see the bigger markets early in their careers will do so anyway. As you said, it only benefits the area in the long run. Those coming back will command higher salaries, have more disposable income and in turn boost the economy.
It's a win win.
