Not always. Airlines often put prices up to an undesirable level if they don’t want to sell tickets - e.g will shortly be pulling the route or might have issues. Most recently BA went to only selling full fare tickets last month when they had there last meltdown. However it can also be because they are loading/changing other fares - sometimes before a sale or special offer.
Just like full flights don’t always equals profits or high yield.
There has been speculation online.
