The only consideration I would have is the condensation that will take place inside the container. Unless you are putting a very large container that is hot in the fridge I doubt that it would have much if any effect on other food already in the fridge. I heard a fellow who allegedly runs a restaurant tell a server today that she should never put a warm container in the fridge. Of course he's never seen the inside of a kitchen. Strictly front of house. The sooner it goes in the quicker it cools. Simple as that.
