It would if the inner nut continued to tighten when you tightened the jam nut. This doesn't always happen, but obviously you should pay attention to that. Sometimes you have to note the degree to which it tightened, then back off and reposition it and start over - taking into account how much further it 'wants' to advance when you torque the jam nut against it.

I have only done this about 9,000,000 times.
