Nope, chummer. I got the official ruling from Jim Nelson @ FASA:

1. When you succeed in taking YOUR OWN objective, what happend to your
own challenge cards (ie. that stack that you didn't have to face)? Do
they simply return to your trash pile? Or hang around till next time?

Answer: They go in your trash pile.

2. Does this rule apply to EVERYBODY's objectives? (Shadowrun Phase,
Step 1, Rules pg.56, never states whether or not you can also ignore
your own challenges on your opponents' objectives?)

Answer: Yes. You never face your own objectives unless forced to by a
card.

Does that help any?
