In fact, one of the main factors in SCOTUS' decisions to accept cases for review is if there is a "split in the circuits" - where you have different interpretations in different courts, that SCOTUS feels are necessary to resolve. Not only that, but it's pretty common for SCOTUS to deliberately let those differences percolate for a while, to get a sense of where different circuits land on an issue and see how things play out, before entering the issue to resolve it. Here's some examples:
