To me that feels like the right way for it to work.
Dropped weapons act as extra ammo in most games, and if you're lucky and it's a weapon you don't have yet, yay, an extra weapon for you.
If every weapon dropped just lied there, even if on a timer, if dropped by another player... it would feel wrong to me.
I'm sure it would be exploitable as well.

I suspect this will be different for other items.
Maybe every player can pick up a jetpack (etc.) once per life.
I think that's the way it usually works.
