It happened now and then, but it's mostly because James Cameron gets to do whatever he wants. Any rando director and it's an R rating. If PG-13 movies get to show a female-presenting nipple at all, like the Fifth Element, they will be very brief, often from the side, and may not even be in focus. They're probably not using makeup or other techniques to make the nipples stand out.
Same with Wolf of Wall Street, but on the next level up. Scorsese directs and argues against an NC-17 rating (which is considered a box office death sentence).
Hollywood is a very nepotistic industry, and the ratings system is no exception. Most of the rules for ratings aren't even written down. There are unwritten rules that even the general public figures out (like only getting one f-bomb in a PG-13 movie), but they can be cast aside when a major director or producer gets on the phone and causes a fuss.
