No. The menu setting is separate.
If automatic control is enabled in the menu, and a very large signal is present
that could exceed ADC range, then the K4 may *reduce* gain by backing off the
preamp setting and/or adding small amounts of attenuation.
After the problematic signal has disappeared, plus a few seconds, any automatic
changes to gain will be reversed out, leaving you back at your original
settings.
In practice, automatic gain reduction rarely kicks in. I've never seen it
happen outside of a Field Day scenario where antennas were in each other's near
field.
