Yes, it does, because paper B, from after the cutoff, cites a cite-less paper A, from before the cutoff. Then a paper C can cite B (or A), as B cites a previous paper, and A is from a time for which the standard today is not applied. (Perhaps I wasn’t clear that the cutoff also applies to citable papers—papers from before the cutoff don’t themselves need citations in them to be citable.)
Edit: Also, papers from before the cutoff cited other prior papers.
It’s not citing but being cited, I think. So if A and B are both before the cutoff, and A cites B, then C from after the cutoff can cite B (but not necessarily A).
