There is a .5 degree difference in head tube angle. If the same fork is used on both frames, small and medium, the small will have considerably more trail. If you want to keep the steering trail the similar you could use a rake and trail calculator to back into the needed rake offset. But having more trail on the smaller frame could be a good thing.
