True. If there are only up to 3 seats available per flight, and those 3 seat reservations are cancelled then there is a distinct possibility that up to 3 seats could be added back to award inventory for said flight.
Is it a guarantee the seats will be relisted as saver awards or at all? no. But I've personally seen award inventory pop back up on JAL & AA flights I've cancelled hours to a week later.
