Not that one-offs are proof, but in real life 1968, Willie Davis stole 36 based and was caught just 10 times. In a test historical, in 1968 he swiped 38 but was caught 35 times.

IRL 1978 & 79, Davey Lopes stole a total of 89 bases while being caught just 8 times (92% success rate). For the same two years in OOTP, he stole 109 bases and was caught 36 times (75%).

In Maury Wills' record-setting year of 1962, he swiped 104 based and was caught just 13 times (89%). In OOTP that same year he was 118 out of 151 (78%).

Again, these are just one-off examples, but they support the totals in the OP.
