I've thought the same thing. My belief is that it's a question of hierarchy. Jackson was the first wolf that Derek made so as a result he was Derek's second in command, his beta in a sense of standing (although I believe Scott is his actual preference). In a sense Derek was Peter's second, because even though Scott was the first wolf Peter made, Derek was the only other wolf of the Hale line still around, he preceded Scott, making him Peter's second. All other following wolves would have Yellow eyes.
