Sanded stair tread....but now 3 Shades? Can I still stain?

We have removed the carpet runner on our stairs - we have sanded off the poly and stain - but it appears that the tread has 3 hints of color. The center was never stained under the runner - the 6 inches on either side of that - and the final 6 inches that were exposed to the sun. It is BARE WOOD - but not all the same 'shade'. We are going very dark with stain - will it show the same shading thru the dark oil based stain? Please note - we realize that the inner edge is not sanded down in this photo. Just wondering if we need to rent some heavy duty belt sander to take the tread down considerably until all shade?
