All that can change is the base item quality, which scales with your current ilvl; i.e. a low ilvl character will see items of a lower base ilvl, while someone with 845+ ilvl will see the highest possible base ilvls more frequently (but not necessarily max all the time).
If you haven't seen the Baton on your character in a while, that means NO ONE has, anywhere. It simply hasn't been up as a reward in a long time now. WQ rewards are chosen somewhat randomly. They can be items, gold, AP, or order resources - but whichever is chosen when a quest is up, it will be that same type across all characters in all of WoW (I believe it's even the same across regions, e.g. EU and US).
The Baton was up quite a few times in quick succession during early Legion, but it has not been up in quite a while. I'm sure it will show up again soon.
