My understanding is that that's not really how Spotify's financials work, in that how much will be paid as royalties _in general_ to everyone is calculated first as the "royalty pool" (something like 66% of revenue), and then how that money is split and to whom is calculated secondarily (using an algorithm called "streamshare").

So in this case, its affecting the "streamshare" calculation, but not the "royalty pool" one, and so not affecting how much money is in Spotify's pocket.
