I am 5'6", with a 28" inseam. I ended up buying an Ultra Limited Low. The dealership swapped seats for me to experiment with while in the showroom. The standard bike was just a little tall for me. So tried the seat that came on the low, still just a bit tall, could not flat foot. But, that is nothing new to me.
So, to answer your question. Yes, I believe that a narrower seat would help. Just IMO.

I did my own a few bikes ago, yes, it helped. Held me until I could get a Mustang.
