The short answer is no, having a slightly fantastic setting won't make your story harder to fall into, unless you do things that break your readers' willing suspension of disbelief.

Rather than write a bunch of stuff about suspension of disbelief, I'll just direct you to this question from a few years back:

What breaks suspension of disbelief?

My advice is explain what you need to about your setting so readers understand what's going on, but leave your setting as the backdrop. Don't spend too many words on it. People who choose to read science fiction stories know what they're getting into; they just need to know the rules of the fictional world.
