It can definitely change. Especially impedances at higher frequencies,
etc. That's the tough part about RF. I think you measured a capacitor.
These are less affected by nearness to other components, shields, etc.
than inductors, but I think you would see a modest change. Massive?
Unlikely unless the circuit design is terrible. Modest? Quite possible.
