Basically, if you are playing fictional historical you can choose either to have the game pull in the "real" MLB league totals each year or to "Lock" the League Totals you have a that moment.
When playing into the future (i.e. past 2022 on in OOTP23) there aren't any "real" league totals to import so whether you check that box won't technically matter.

To confirm, then:
1) A current season QS is in effect considered a historical game as you move into the future, with the league totals remaining static year-to-year because there are (obviously) no historical season totals to pull as you move forward?
2) Even if it were considered a non-historical fictional league, it is NOT the case that non-historical fictional leagues import the most recently completed fictional season totals to serve as the base league totals for the upcoming season? I was unsure how to read the following excerpt from the online manual, specifically if in the last sentence the *most recently completed major league season* was referring to the real-life MLB or instead to whatever is the highest league in that fictional game (note that the text used a lower-case / generic format for citing the league, though that could very well mean nothing):
[
OOTP generates a league total for each category, noted in the left column. The league total acts as the basis for the calculation engine. In historical leagues, these are the real league totals from the imported year. In fictional leagues it's the major league totals from the most recently completed season.]
