The answer is HELL YEAH! The reason Baam became so powerful during the five years after the Floor of Test was the motiviation to protect his friends (kinda cliche but w/e). After meeting Koon, Rak, and his old friends in the workshop battle he no longer had that drive so there'd be no point for him to get stronger. Although during the 1 year to train for the Hell Train he did get stronger he didn't have as much motiviation since he was reuinted with his old friends, and he doesn't need to bear all the responsbility.

Ignoring the Thorn, Baam's progression has slowed down drastically. Hopefully when he goes through Revolution he gets rid of that borrowed power and awakens his own power.
