There are a lot of different grades and types of treated lumber.
What is found at the local lumber store will likely be UC4A, which is rated for ground contact.
It will work above ground, but probably more vulnerable to warping and checking as it dries.
There are better grades available. But I don't know if they are available to the consumer, or where you would find them, or if it would be cost effective to procure it.
