Depends how you define overall fitness. I would have thought, all other things being equal, the person riding 60 miles will have more endurance fitness than the one only riding 30 miles (which you kind of implied in your first sentence). There is probably some diminishing return, but my training plan for endurance rides of around 100 miles certainly includes training rides much longer than 30 miles. Obviously non of this matters if you don't need that extra endurance fitness.
